Ugandans Told to Lock Down or Get Locked Up
Ugandans, whose Ministry of Health preaches the idea of “fighting the virus not the people”, have been told that they could be thrown into prison if they break lockdown rules by operating banned businesses or even by not wearing a face mask when outside. BBC News has the story.
According to new rules released by the Health Ministry in a statutory document, those found operating banned businesses such as bars, nightclubs, cinemas and shops selling non-food items face time in prison.
Current lockdown measures also restrict cultural ceremonies like weddings to only 20 people, and anyone found hosting a larger number might be jailed.
Heads of households or owners of premises or property who fail to report people infected with Covid to health officials may be imprisoned as well.
Not wearing a mask outside of one’s residence or assisting someone to escape from quarantine, could land one in jail.
Since the country first went into lockdown in March 2020, security forces have in some cases meted out violence on the public while enforcing control measures and several people have been killed.
Officials warn that Uganda is currently going through a second wave of Covid infections which should have peaked by early August.
Lockdown rule-breaking – which also includes praying in open places – could land Ugandans in prison for two months, according to Voice of America. State Minister for Health Anifa Kawooya says the new measures are necessary. “These penalties are not punishments. In one way, it is to instil attitude change… That the moment that you know that if I don’t observe these [standard operating procedures], this will happen.”
The BBC News report is worth reading in full.

One of my German speaking sources is currently living in Tanzania, and there was a video shared which showed a funeral of an apparent covid victim.
The funeral workers stood with the coffin for a long time, not lowering it, the workers dressed in hazmat suits. Huge crowd attending, must have been “forced” to come there, until they got fed up, turned out the coffin was empty.
Apparently Uganda was given money to lock down hard.
Tanzania being punished for having formerly had a sane president who very wisely threw the WHO cabal out of his country.
Used to be on my fantasy “list of places to escape to”, guess it’s off now.
Yep, remember the images of people partying on the beach in Zanzibar on New Year’s Eve, can’t be having that kind of thing on display.
Tanzania is still a “sane” country, according to Bittel TV, and worth escaping to.

the new imperialism – sickening.
Peak daily deaths with COVID in Uganda: 40.
200 people die from malaria per day in Uganda. Every day. Of every year.
Time to get things in perspective. No?
https://www.independent.co.ug/malaria-kills-200-ugandans-everyday/
Yes there’s no context on that graph, no percentage of other death causes.
If you had a sign saying WARNING! COVID (is the 256th greatest cause of DEATH! behind ladders) you’d go “Hmmm”?!?
Exactly.
Around 10 people die every day in Africa as whole from hippopotamus bites.
Sooo, deaths “with” peaked at a truly terrifying 40 for a couple of days, and now appear to be dropping like a stone. In a country of 45 million people. It all makes perfect sense.
just you wait until the Ugandan variant arrives here on the 18th.
A recent para from Klaus anal Schwab and his WEF
“The vaccine-hesitant population has developed strong feelings against it, so manipulating information sources trusted by these people could improve their feelings about the vaccine. Research indicates those that remain hesitant trust some medical providers, political and faith-based “influencers” i.e. thinking-based knowledge about their medical decisions, but are more likely to rely on their “tribes” to provide the feeling or emotional-based conviction for future decisions…”
So the vaxx hesitant are thinking the way they do because of resilient medics like this:

So expect censorship to get worse, and more crushing dissent legal.
Meanwhile…long live the skeptics, whichever part of the globe they stay focused and resist the BUILD BACK BETTER tyranny..

With a sizable Black minority traditionally mistrustful of vaccines and with many conservative rural whites convinced that the vaccine is more dangerous than COVID-19 itself, Southern US states like Alabama have some of the country’s lowest vaccination rates,
Well it’s true, the vaccine IS more dangerous than the disease for anyone below 60 and not fat and that’s using their own dodgy stats.
“to instill attitude change…”
Ah, so that’s what this is all about and absolutely bugger all to do with protecting the health of the people.
I wonder if “attitude change” is really what the C1984 is all about?
Just an idlethought 😀.
Come back Idi Amin. All is forgiven.
Uganda trialing measures to come into force in the UK in the Winter months of 2022….
It must be quite a while since any country’s security forces started killing its citizens as an NPI. Here, we just rely on HMG and NHS GC for that sort of thing.
Indeed. You don’t need the security forces when people will stay at home and die there quietly on command. The hallmark of a truly civilised and educated population is when they’ll assist in their own extermination.
Ah, Africa with its terrible health problems, reflected by the fact that it is the only continent in the world where population is still growing significantly.
Clearly their problem is that they haven’t lost the will to procreate. They need to be more developed like us and learn to despise the human race and themselves a bit more. Then they’ll get with the programme and line up like lemmings to get jabbed for something that poses almost no risk to them.
Meanwhile, the WHO’s own Tobacco Fact Sheet. Key Facts Tobacco kills up to half of its users. Tobacco kills more than 8 million people each year. More than 7 million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use while around 1.2 million are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke. Nearly 80% of the world’s more than 1 billion smokers live in low- and middle-income countries. In the African region: 13 million women use tobacco products, including chewing tobacco and snuff 13% of young adolescent girls use tobacco products. Recent trends show an increase in tobacco use among girls. In the past, the prevalence of tobacco use among girls was lower than the rate for boys. But recent studies have shown the prevalence rate among girls (4.6% to 36.6%) has become as high as for boys (7.8% to 36.5%). About 22,000 women die every year from tobacco-related diseases which are preventable. Between 2002 and 2030, tobacco-attributable deaths are projected to double in low and middle income countries (LMICs), including in Africa. Of adult deaths due to second-hand smoke, about 2/3 are among women (64%) – women working and living with men who smoke. In addition, women have unique… Read more »
Maybe smokers should be told to wear a mask when they’re smoking!
Less than 2,000 deaths, in nearly 50m people. But never mind, it’s “necessary”.
“People have been killed”? Hail to the heroes (those killed obviously). And we thought we had it bad.
How much money was Uganda given? By whom? Ivermectin all round?
Are the BBC reporting this or promoting this ?🙄
I hope the likes of Neil Ferguson, his colleagues at Imperial, the members of SAGE, along with all our weak minded politicians are proud of themselves and the disproportionate suffering their collusion has put upon the most vulnerable people of the world and the naked totalitarianism that is rushing in in its wake.
“Fighting the virus, not the people.”
Or, using the virus to fight the people?
