Covid-19 claims life of another priest Fr. Chinkhoma
Just a day after the burial of Fr. Dr. Dominic Kazingatchire of Dedza diocese, Covid-19 has claimed the life of another Catholic Church priest Fr. Frederick Chinkhoma of Blantyre archdiocese.
Fr. Chinkhoma died on Tuesday according to Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM).
The ECM said Fr. Chinkhoma was rushed to Nguludi hospital for high blood pressure treatment. He also had diabetes.
The priest also had a test for Covid-19 and was positive.
Fr. Chinkhoma came from Mwanga parish in Phalombe deanery. He celebrated silver jubilee in priesthood recently.
The negative news about covid-19 is affecting the patients and most of them are dying because of fear. They are getting into depression. The statistics show that 97% of the patients are recovering and 3% are dying. We are focusing on the 3%. We must encourage the sick and tell them that the recovery rate is high. We got to know that most of those dying are above 60 years old and those with underlying issues like asthma and diabetes. Yes Covid-19 is real but not a big killer. We are focusing on prominent people and this is of course helping most people to be cautious. The nation also needs to know about the vaccination program. Those who want it will take it and those who are saying negative things about the vaccine are free to stay away. We are not born from the same family. Each and every person is supposed to take care of himself.
