Abstract:
As we look all around us as 2020 slowly barrels towards its close, we see staggering dichotomous examples of both selfishness and altruism. Crises bring out the best and the worst in humanity.
On the positive side with altruism, we see neighbours helping neighbours, friends raising funds through WhatsApp harambees for their friends’ medical bills, and we see families taking extra care and attention of their elderly relatives.
Further, frontline nurses, doctors, public health professionals, and teachers, among others, put their lives on the line with far greater risk than before the pandemic.
We see many of our Kenyan political leaders, though certainly not all, setting a good example for mask usage and social distancing during the pandemic unlike in several other nations.
