The COVID-19 infection is currently so common within the society that, if care is not taken, every death would be classified as C19 because almost everyone, healthy or sick, has a trace of the novel Coronavirus now (termed C19-related).
It is also true that almost all our health workers, including doctors and nurses, have tested positive for C19. (The virus is present in our hospitals, wards or OPD). But the actual diseases killing people are known and must be tackled.
Testing positive to C19 does not mean it is one responsible for the death of a patient. It is like testing every dead body for the presence of malaria parasites and attributing the cause of death to malaria (comorbidity). We all have malaria parasites at different thresholds but that won’t be linked to every death recorded in Ghana.

Prof Peter H. Katjavivi
Professor Kirsten Elisabeth Alnaes, Norwegian social anthropologist, whose doctoral thesis was on the cosmology of the Konzo in Uganda, and who did extensive oral history with the Herero community in Botswana, passed away on 4 February this year.
Born 8 May 1927, in Hattfjelldal, Norway, Kirsten studied social anthropology at the University of Oslo. There she met fellow anthropologist Axel Sommerfelt and they were married. They spent three years both doing research in Uganda and then moved to Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. They had three children – Benedict, Aspen and Maja. Kirsten and her husband were staunch advocates of black majority rule in Rhodesia and they were expelled from Rhodesia by the Smith regime in 1966, along with a number of other academics, including Professor Terence Ranger.
