Just did a quick consult on @bbcswahili on herbal remedies for #COVID19TZA. Will re-post here in English and Swahili

Herbal remedies can indeed help with symptomatic relief, that is not the same as *cure* for #COVID19

80% of #COVID19 patients will recover without any treatment

We are concerned about the 20% of patients who may require medical attention and oxygen .. herbal remedies
will not help these patients breathe

20% of the population is a very large number, 1 of 5 ppl

Prevention is still by far our BEST defense

If indeed our herbal remedies cured #COVID19 .. surely more powerful nations would not watch idle as 1000s of their citizens die *daily* ?

We must not confuse symptomatic relief, with a cure

Defense, defense, defense ..
