There is something medieval in quarantining and isolation to deal with diseases we don’t fully understand or have cures for. Our father was principal at a college not too far from the main town in northeastern Uganda, Soroti. There were two or three other leprosy centres in the country, and about double that in the rest of East Africa. This is nowhere more evident than the options available to Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda. Because Kenya is more urbanised, eats ugali, and is a larger economy, the supermarkets and shops are far more important.
