Because people dying from choking on their food aren't being counted as COVID deaths.

Wasn't it OMLandshark who said that COVID-19 would amount to an apocalypse in Africa and that it would be the start of China essentially starving the entire continent due to disrupted supply chains?

Sure here is a coupon for a whopper .. just go 2300 miles to Cape Town to redeem your ticket.

Thanks for coming to the testing center

Regardless of the test numbers being super low due to lack of tests, they also have really low death rates. So it is real, just don’t know why.

It would really be something if the anti malaria drugs have protected them.

I don't know who said that, but I've been saying India is going to get buttfricked by this virus from the beginning.

Those people live on top of each other in filth and have awful immune systems from the over-prescription of extremely powerful antibiotics that are over the counter there.

I understand ABs are for bacterial infections, but it compromises the entire immune system if over used.

I think I was wrong about India though. They've got a shite ton of cases but they're handling it fairly well it seems as far as deaths go.

When survival is more important than being “woke”, stupid shite doesn’t affect you as bad.

I have been reading where smoking somehow lowers mortality rate. Africans love to smoke.

The median age in large parts of sub-Saharan Africa is like 20. And obesity and related lifestyle disease is basically non-existent.

Not that hard to figure out.

If you graph the elderly and obesity with COVID deaths I’m sure the relationship will approach 1.

They just aren’t testing and reporting, it’s crazy what people actually report on and believe. Same with China.

Ivermectin is popular there for parasite control in people. It’s been tossed around ivermectin is a treatment for China flu.

1 - almost no testing
2 - already widespread use of hydrochloroquine (anti malaria)
