1/ Pres. Paul Biya's New Year's #BiyaSpeech was relatively unremarkable compared to previous years, w/ no major announcements or provocative statements that go beyond what is the norm. It is still worth examining as it demonstrates the thinking of the gov on several fronts.
2/ At the outset of the speech, a large amount of time was given to #COVID, claiming that the gov. "t is yielding excellent results," ironic given the lack of public data, & viral stories of people needing to pay to get a negative test.
3/ While it is true that testing is quite accessible in urban areas, there is virtually no data on cases & deaths being shared. This leads to confusion & having no way of grasping the state of the pandemic in Cameroon. See below the @Reuters graph, this dataset is unrealistic.
