Taking into account Uganda's population size, of about 40 million people, this report shows that there are only 1.3 ICU bed per million population, implying a very limited access to intensive health care in the country. Thus, it is logical to assert that Uganda's health care sytem might truly be overwhelmed if the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases increases. Therefore, since, most COVID-19 cases in the country, has been among males, aged between 20-49 years, there is reason to suspect that the zero death incidence from the disease might not be due to the efficiency of the Ugandan health care system. ./cache/cord-288352-qt4ugr95.txt ./txt/cord-288352-qt4ugr95.txt
