Tempers are high, especially between the ruling party and the two largest Opposition configurations, NUP and FDC. Covid-19 has imposed a situation where Uganda is registering a very high level of Covid infections and deaths. According to Prof Rhoda Wanyenze, School of Public Health Dean, fatalities may jump to 100,000 by April 2021. Of course, this data has its limitations as Uganda has a relatively insignificant amount of testing. It is the well-to-do who can afford the tests partly due to specific exigencies such as the need to travel. Dryer conditions countrywide at the start of the dry spell normally end in December through February also dictate that the rate of transmission would fall but only but.
