- Stop domestic travel: I would do this because there are alot of remote fishing villages in Malawi that won't get coronavirus in them if there is no domestic travel.
- Close hospitals: The hospitals in Malawi will kill more people than they can help as there are only 7 ventilators meaning 2.5 million people to 1 ventilator and they have 25 intensive care beds for the whole of Malawi.
- Close schools: People walk so far to get to school if they get coronavirus at school and then bring it back to their village then there is coronavirus in the village.
- Export more tobacco to make up for the loss in other sectors of the economy: Even if people in the tobacco factories get coronavirus, it will help as there is now no tourism which is one of Malawi's main exports.
- Fish more: It will impact the lake massively but it will prevent lots of people from dying from starvation. I would do this by relaxing all the restrictions on fishing.
- Ask for more aid: 45% of Malawi's economy is aid, and being the 3rd poorest country in the world, they have a good shot at getting extra aid.
- Open the borders: It will encourage more tourism, and Malawi will need it as its exports will fall.
I'm Rafael and am 10. My family is traveling around Africa and other places. I have a seven-year-old brother. I am writing this blog as we go along. My idea is to give people the perspective of a child. I am frequently posting on trip adviser as @Raf_Around_the_World. I am writing this blog to encourage people to travel as it is a great thing to do. Some downsides are you do not get much time to yourself and you spent much of it in a car which is boring.
