Abstract

This article analyses the contributing variables to the spread of the Novel Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), in Zimbabwe. Guided by findings drawn from both primary and secondary sources the study considered the upsurge in local transmissions in Zimbabwe as influenced by social, political, religious, and economic factors. These factors were narrowed down to detailed issues which include porous and weak boarder security, a dysfunctional transport system, corruption at both local and central government level, traditional cultural beliefs, myths, government’s response and lockdown measures, stigmatization, poverty, social media, politics, weak infrastructure, and medical systems, refugee matters and the international or global perspective regarding Covid-19. Following the deep analysis of the various contributing elements the study recommended the drawing lessons from the 1918 Spanish Flue responses.

For years, many people doubted that I would recover from Parkinson’s disease. Even when others lost hope, I refused to give up. I followed my neurologist’s recommendations and used medications such as Carbidopa, Sinemet, and Levodopa. While these treatments provided some temporary relief, my condition eventually worsened, especially by the fifth year. At that point, I decided to explore an alternative approach and tried a herbal program from EarthCure Herbal Clinic( www.earthcureherbalclinic.com). I used their treatment for four months, and over that period, I experienced a remarkable improvement in my symptoms. Today, I am grateful for the progress I have made and for discovering another option that worked for me in curing and reversing my PD and all its symptoms completely. I share my experience for those who may be considering alternative paths alongside conventional treatment or without any conventional treatment.
