We can't let people know granny and grandpa didn't have to die had we used hydroxychloroquine

I'm sure they rolled quite the testing infrastructure

African countries don’t have to fake a pandemic to fix an election.

I knew this would be the first response but remember many predicting doom for Africa? Where were the mass deaths?

Oh those will come.
But, it'll be starvation etc from economic fallout due to worldwide stupidity.

So, despite a lack of testing, there would also be a lack of legitimate hospital care, correct?
So where are the 100’s of thousands of extra deaths (Millions over multiple nations in the region)?

They don't have an obesity problem and I'm guessing their healthcare infrastructure is bad to the point where their average lifespan is shorter so it didn't move the needle. I think their populations skew young.
Ya, so it looks like Northern Africa is pretty old but for the entire continent the leading cause of death in 2019, heart disease didn't surpass 5.5%. Neonatal conditions is the leading cause of death at 11%.

Of course they were going to be fine. They probably handled it the best of any western country. Doing nothing was probably the best strategy to fight the virus. I was joking because we shouldn't have rolled out testing infrastructure here. We should have been diagnosing patients like every other illness in human history by identifying symptoms.

All the africa countries take HCQ for their malaria problem. HCQ when taken before covid prevents most cases. Its not rocket science but the media hide this fact.

The bodies would still be stacked like firewood like they were here. Or was that just an exaggeration from crazy overpaid nurses in Texas?

By liberal logic, Amish populations in the US should be extinct by now, due to #MuhPandemic.

Guess China didn’t have a reason to coordinate and spread it in Africa.

I want to agree, but Africa is a shithole in every sense of the word. Every African government is a kleptocracy. There is no reporting at all of many deaths, and there is certainly no reporting of most causes of death across most of the sub Saharan part of the continent. There are viral or bacterial plagues with alarming frequency. And there's no testing unless some NGO sets up shop in the middle of your town. Nobody in Africa even cares which plague kills you. They just throw your body on the pile and wait for the next guy to die.
I'd like to think HCQ saved them, but it's equally likely that they don't report shite, like most of the third world.
