I forget about Africa.If CV was real pandemy,not slighty worst common flu,Africa would be dying now.Instead people there still die mostly from malaria nad AIDS.
I mean, there are plenty of reasons why COVID is less dangerous to Africans. African populations are generally younger and thus less likely to die from it. They are used to fighting against pandemics, which means both better/stricter government health measures and a populace more willing to adhere to them. This is a similar reason why East Asia as a whole has done a better job as well.

In regards to adhering to government regulation that's typically not the case though. There is far less of a leeway in countries like India for being able to afford just not working and on average government subsidies and welfare payments are far less or non existent complicating it even more.

If there is less fatalities it is due to more to the relative youth of the population, the climate and general inbuilt immunity from prior illnesses and general health. Because on average the population is not one that can afford to follow regulation on the level imposed by western governments even if they wanted to.

What I hear is one the main factors for how African countries are suffering less from COVID is they get periodically bombarded with antivirals due to the tropical diseases that exist there.

Just a warning for you guys; getting the vaccine might make you contagious to anyone who doesn't have it. My brother just caught the corona virus, and the only people he interacts with are his care givers who just got the vaccine.

Work forces me to wear a mask any ways so its kind of irrelevant.

Uh, what?

Like, people have been talking about how it's possible that those who get the vaccine can still get and transmit COVID to others even if they don't actually get sick from it themselves for a while now, well before any vaccine was created. This is why you see some health professionals warn that normalcy may not return even after vaccination, even though I think that saying things like that is a really bad idea. But there's a difference from that and saying that the vaccine causes that transmission.

The theory of the WuFlu leaking out from a Chinese Lab has been rejected by the WHO team on the ground in the Wuhan Province investigating the source of the pandemic causing coronavirus after spending three hours at the Institute.

I think that by now the WHO has proven itself thoroughly untrustworthy

Dear comrade,anybody who is suspecting our leaders must be enemy of the people.There is no need for any investigation.
Other that made in some good chineese restaurant,of course.

It's only more than a year after the fact, I'm sure 3 hours on-site is definitively "unlikely". What would there be to see by now?

You're missing the forest for the tree's.

The big reason third world or authortarian places have the appearance of doing better with Covid is because they lie about their cases or their reporting and detection is crap.

So you know how we all knew Governor Cuomo was full of shit and covering up Covid deaths? Well now they finally admitted it to polite society.

New Allegations of Cover-Up by Cuomo Over Nursing Home Virus Toll

I'm using the NYT to accommodate our local contrarians.

Long and short they 'froze' counting nursing home deaths when Trump started berating Cuomo for his poor Covid policy. Purportedly to avoid letting federal investigators weaponize it against New York. Last time I checked that's called obstruction of justice. A number of New York democrats are furious over this and calling to resend the governor's emergency Covid powers, but predictably over half the headlines are various flavors of "Republicans pounce".

If you fuck up that badly maybe you deserve to get pounced on.
