PUTTING PROVID BEFORE WORKERS TO REOPEN THE ECONOMY.

It is now the height of winter in Africa and time to take stock of the Covid related death rate comparisons detailed in the article, to determine whether the conclusions remain valid.
Total deaths in the USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain (G6) amounted to 313,891 compared to 201,192 deaths when the article was written.
Total deaths in Africa amounted to 22,945 compared to 1591 when the article was written.
Though the ratio of deaths per head of population between the G6 and Africa has reduced, deaths per head in Africa stand at only 3.4% that found in the G6. Africa with a population of 1.3 billion has had fewer deaths than any of the G6 countries mentioned bar Germany.
The conclusions in the articles continue to hold.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ as at 6th August 2020.
Brilliant Brian! I had the same idea about Africa and why so few have died (eg South Africa on Monday had 161 deaths, Nigeria even fewer!). And there’s the Vitamin D component as well.
And vitamin A. The vitamin A injection given to malnourished children in Africa and elsewhere is the single biggest life saving intervention on the planet.
So what’s to be done (to parphrase)? What seems to holding the entire, stinking, disgusting mess together is the centrality of the corporate/state media in hiding the truth from us peasants. Fear rules, OK!
