No I think it is much more. It makes me very nervous. They left this past Wednesda without saying anything to the health ministry

I guess it could be some sort of environmental health issue from the flooding but the symptoms  are so close to alpha Covid

December 21, 2021 (JUBA) – South Sudan reintroduced again some restrictions including partial lockdown to curb the spread of COVID 19 in the country.

The National Taskforce imposed a ban on social gatherings and entertainment sites as well as a night curfew starting 10 pm to 6 am.

In a statement on Tuesday, the task force stated that the wearing of a face mask is mandatory and citizens are required to observe social distancing while avoiding a handshake.

Further, it pointed that the recent surge of respiratory disease requires such restrictions.

“The national taskforce is hereby once again putting in place necessary measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 as follows, enforcing lockdown with effect from 21st December 2021 to 10th January 2022,” he announced on Tuesday.

Or still ongoing ?

If CoViD managed to spread in animals-new possible variants could be showing up....But more info needed !

After the initial report on here a week ago I've been trying to find out more but there's very little being said about it. What i did note was the incredible levels of environmental pollution in this region, and I did wonder about ground water pollution and subsequent poisoning.

There are too many "other" things going on here to assume its anything but something local causing this.  Just my opinion, but I don't see this as concerning.

I tried to find follow up info on this yesterday and saw a report that said it is only striking down the young (under 14) and the elderly.
