Vaccination reduces the intensity of waves,” Otoi said. “The determinant of the fifth wave lies in the vaccination uptake in the country. The modeling is by Dr Shem Sam Otoi, the Covid-19 programmes coordinator for the Lake Region Economic Bloc. Should the wave be mild, then around 1,000 deaths might be reported. The latest modeling shows that at least 75,000 infections, 50,000 of whom will have mild symptoms and 3,000 deaths in the worst-case scenario, are likely to be recorded in the country should a fifth wave hit the country. “In addition to the community immunity evidenced by seroprevalence studies, the general public and healthcare systems in Kenya are better placed now to handle Covid-19 unlike ever before.” “Considering that we have now had four waves in Kenya, any subsequent wave will not cause as much havoc as previous waves when the population was naive immunity-wise,” leading pathologist Dr Ahmed Kalebi said. This is because of their weakened immunity and most of them tend to have pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.ĭata from the Health ministry shows that by October 4, 223,122 health workers, 176,794 security officers, 379,503 teachers and 588,745 people aged 58 and above had received at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine. Data shows that 80 per cent of deaths reported in the country have been recorded in people aged 58 years and above.
The government has prioritised the vaccination of frontline healthcare workers, teachers, security personnel, those with comorbid conditions and people aged above 50 years. The focus by the government on vaccinating the most vulnerable populations has been listed as a plus. The experts said unlike the previous waves, the public is now more informed about the disease and containment measures have been put in place to curb the spread of the virus. A possible sixth wave is projected in March next year.
The wave is projected to coincide with the October-November flu season. Sounds just a little more menacing (and believable) than spaceships shooting lasers at the White House, doesn't it? So here's what humanity has to fear in The 5th Wave.The fifth Covid-19 wave expected to hit the country later this month will not be severe, health experts have said.Įxperts have projected that the fifth wave is likely to start on October 21, peak towards the end of November and decline in January next year. They take away what makes us a civilization, turn our own planet against us, use biological warfare, and even have humans do their fighting for them. Whereas extraterrestrials in other movies like Independence Day and War of the Worlds pretty much just set out to destroy humanity by blowing things up, the "Others" in The 5th Wave are thorough. Let me first say this: These aliens in The 5th Wave aren't messing around.
So what are the five waves in The 5th Wave?
#THE 5TH WAVE WAVES MOVIE#
Most of the movie takes place during what's referred to as the fifth wave of the alien invasion (hence the title), but that means there were four other waves that happened already. And despite the trauma fans have already witnessed in franchises like The Hunger Games and Divergent, The 5th Wave promises to be the most devastating apocalyptic setting by far, since the film's destruction was caused by a malevolent alien race rather than pedestrian fellow humans. The next crop of sci-fi, dystopian YA thrillers is soon arriving in theaters, with The 5th Wave leading the charge.
