What will become of her when Covid-19 spread like wildfire..? Given the almost non-existent healtcare compared to the western world this can only spell disaster. I have come to love this continent and I am very very worried. Your thoughts..?? | ||

Africa has survived many past disasters. It will deal with it. The stupidity of the rest of the world, and all the panic right now is only caused by the media! Thousand are dying every day from normal flu. No one cares. A few dead of this and everyone is up in arms! | |||

I think part of the caution is the fact that there is no immunizations, and it seems to be much more contagious than the flu. Not to mention the mortality rate in the elderly seems to be around 15-20% which is also much higher than the flu. People do bring up death rates of TB, AIDS, Malaria etc. around the world where this seems to be miniscule but those rates are not that high in developed countries. I can't remember the last news article of someone dying of Malaria in the USA. People panic about what effects them and this seems to effect developing countries at this time, so they panic. Personally, I think some of the reactions are ridiculous. I still don't understand why people are concerned about toilet paper so much. | |||

Do you really think this was a lab developed virus that escaped? People were saying that it escaped from a lab at Wuhan and it turned out to be a hoax. | |||
|

May be it did not escape! It was released on purpose??!! How come China has a vaccine already?? | |||
|
| One of Us |
Anything we say at this point is conjecture. I had not heard that they already had a vaccine from any news sources. Your source? | |||

Would you take the vaccine? I’d be willing to bet a lot of people won’t. The conspiracist says: you are going to get me sick and then you want me to trust you to inject me with a vaccine?? | |||

Africa is a young continent. If you're 50-60 years old in most countries, you have already exceeded the national life expectancy. But such a young average age among the population just means that people get old faster, not that there are no old people. And the COVID 19 mortality rate is highest among the old, infirm and immunocompromised. I shudder to think how many deaths there may be across the continent before this pandemic plays out. I'm afraid that, after COVID-19 is through with her, Africa's average age will be even younger. We need a vaccine, fast. Stay healthy and strong.

AIDS kills 'em faster over there than COVID ever will. Funny thing is the general populus over there doesn't care. | |||

You nave to think about AIDS as the underlying condition and COVID 19 on top of that. That equals quick(er) death. And there are lots of other underlying conditions about which we can say the same thing. Pretty awful to think about. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

If this catches hold in Africa I believe it has the potential of killing Millions of people who as Mike just said are already compromised by HIV or AIDS. | |||

There's a theory going around that widespread use of malaria prophylactics is keeping COVID 19 infections low in southern Africa. It seems to have a curative, and perhaps a preventive, effect, especially when coupled with Z-MAX antibiotics. I'm still skeptical, but I sure as hell hope it's true and this therapy proves to be effective. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Bush 43 focused extensively on AIDS in Africa. The medicines and clinics have been maintained for the past 12-15 years. While AIDS is certainly still around, there are medicines and HIV specific clinics that specialize in the treatment. First world medicines are used in Africa just like in America. Just like you don't hear much about AIDS in America much anymore, AIDS in the areas of Africa I am familiar with are way down, and individuals are able to live fairly normal lives. Perhaps there are still issues in large cities. This is no longer the Africa of the 80's-90's. Regarding this Wuhan virus. The lack of beds, PPE, ventilators, trained personnel could make this a very sad 12-18 months. Until a vaccine is made, hopefully chloroquine will save many lives. | |||

Agreed, not looking good for Zim with CV only just taking hold now. I know some very good guys there. I believe they are in self quarantine now. Praying they come out the other side unscathed 'cos they can't expect any meaningful medical support if they contract CV-19. Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing. | |||

I don’t think that it is going to last long there...it’s going to go through the population like wildfire, killing millions of people and then disappear | |||

Yes, I too think it could / will be hard hitting and rapid. Most won't even get to hospital and those that do will only be getting only a softer bed to die on. Any of the Zim elite class still within Zim ( the individuals usually getting medical services outside Zim ) must be starting to feel real fear about now. Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing. | |||

………………… I hope to hell, it is true, because clinics are rare in the out back of Africa. Thousands of people have died already, and this might just be the preview of coming attractions! Pray for the innocent little children of Africa's bush country where people from other countries come to their villages to take pictures, and hand out candy to the kids ! ......……...…….Pray for the innocent!

The problem with southern Africa is they are not broadly testing and are only reporting the numbers that enter their hospitals. RSA just reported 900 confirmed cases. The number of actual cases could be (and probably is) exponentially higher. With more than 7 million of the population infected with AIDS/HIV, they will be dropping like flies within months. It will be grim "if" COVID takes off there. ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

Part of my point. China moves huge amounts of laborers back and forth from countries like Zim--freely. It should have already taken off if it was going to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Do you think it is heat/humidity, genetic, or something else that will keep Africa from being impacted hard. | |||

White zims I know are worried. Moving families from Harare to empty hunting camps to socially isolate. Trying to source chloroquine. Turns out chloroquine is not easily available in zim. Mike | |||

Only reality is people are flying blind. There is no testing or any medical infrastructure in zim beyond a few private hospitals in a country in 10 plus mil. Not a country I want to get sick in. Hopefully this covid passes Africa by. But that is me wishing. Mike | |||

It is no longer available most anywhere nowadays, ever since the introduction of other Malaria prophylactics. I am told Indian pharmaceutical companies have begun re-manufacturing. I remember those days when the tablets were stored in large airtight jars and sold loose over the counter (no prescription required). If it truly works against CV-19 then Chloroquine will be a Godsend. | |||
