Coronavirus is one hell of a virus. When you talk about virus, many souls recall HIV/AIDS. With this rich technology era, lots are used to the computer virus.

‘Chinese virus’ US President Donald Trump calls it, is a life-threatening virus whose roots stem as distant as Wuhan City in China.

A virus that is said to have started in November 2019, continues to unsettle world order, rich and poor. With no hope of a vaccine.

Uganda is among several countries that have not escaped the wrath of the canning virus. 18 tested positive to-date.

Mulago Hospital, the countries biggest hospital is the pivot of the action. It is where the cases confirmed are being given hope of life.

Unlike several countries where many are retiring to meet their creator, Uganda is yet to register a loss.

However, there is untold fear since the first case was registered a week ago, a returning citizen from business trip to Dubai.

Ugandans are known for their love for for the brown and colourless bottle and music, sum it up ‘Party after party’.

With more eight cases confirmed, President Yoweri Museveni dropped a bomb to disrupt the party. Kampala’s night full of life went silent and dead.

The city and the other parts of the country are coming to terms. The banger of five more cases, saw the President Museveni swing the axe by putting a full stop to the city’s traffic.

Bringing to a halt the flooding services of commuter taxis, boda bodas and buses, reasoning that the service was the would be biggest carrier of the virus. He did not stop at that.

If you are not selling food, then you have no business leaving your compound. This was like your partner slicing your heart into two.

Wait a minute! The sight of a Ugandan female who according to our reporter Rashidah Nakaayi returned from Dubai, slowly wearing down to her knees and finally her body flat on the tarmac surface of Mualgo Hospital sent tens and hundreds into utter tears and some fleeing for their lives.

The stories of people collapsing in Europe, Asia and the Americas was distant away. We had read it on social media and the western press online.

The Ugandan clad in a tight-fitting white outfit had a mask on her mouth and nose and gloves on her fists. She was fighting for her life our own Rashidah who was at the hospital traced her story.

Full of life, the female who wasn’t identified at the time we went to press, walked majestically like everybody else. Rashidah recounts she suddenly saw the lady fail to come to terms with her body and feet.

Recalling that she tried in vain to find relief between the cars parked at the hospital parking lot. She appeared to fight with her steps as she took to a hiding away from the public.

Rashidah recollected that the helpless lady turned away from the parking lot and resigned to the ground. That she probably realised she needed help. She had taken off her shoes.

She weakly rested herself with boths hands shielding her upper body. She sighed in pain while tossing her head up and down in a video our reporter Rashidah captured.

A woman and a kid passed by her with concern. A police officer captured in the video in kaki uniform and boots held onto his phone.

The poor girl sat adjacent to a white plastic chair with a black cloth and a jacket rested on one side of the open door.

The occupant on sighting the ailing female walked into the building. Rashidah revealed that people kept a distance watching in scare how the sickly lady fought for her life.

It was a moving recount our brave reporter revealed. She described the lady as a fighter because she was able to keep her breathe till hospital authorities brought in an ambulance.

She was whisked away to a facility in Bukoto. The country awaits for her situation.

Will she be the 19th case?
