3rd wave of Covid just started hitting a lot of African countries
Stay safe. People I know are dying left and right
weak easily overwhelmed health care systems. I know a chick who died of Covid in Kenya and there's been doctors who died from it too.I'm supposed to go to Nigeria in August. My cousin stays in Uganda and last month she was telling me that they are still on lock down. It didn't sound right at the time but now I see why
Something for you to think about.I never bought into this hype. I'm sure there are some places with political unrest that might be dangerous. But it has NEVER sat right with me how they downplay the sheer size of the second largest continent in the world.
For perspective....
There could be something going down on one side of the continent that would never even be seen all the way on the other side of the continent. But somehow we just got this image emblazoned into our collective consciousness that Africa is just the boogeyman, dangerous land. When Bosnians Wars or whatever the fukk they were doing in Europe happened, nobody applied that conflict to ALL of Europe even tho that continent is tiny in comparison. The world has a real issue with the way Africa is portrayed. Its so stupid.
I have no idea what ya'll talking about, because Africa has been the least hit by COVID. Specially in sub Saharan Africa. According to new scientific research out of Germany. Sub Saharan's are the least at risk when it comes to COVID, due to them being one of the only people on earth with 0% neanderthal DNA. Europeans are most at risk. Explains the low deaths from COVID compared to other regions of the world.3rd wave of Covid just started hitting a lot of African countries

I get what you mean but damn near every country in the Continent was going through a war, minor conflict, genocide/ethnic cleansing or brutal dictatorship crackdowns between the mid-60s to early 2000s, with violence peaking between the early 90s to early 2000s. It wasn't just media exaggeration from the West, political and ethnic violence was endemic in a large number of countries in Africa. It's the equivalent of a Yugoslavia or Ukraine type war in nearly every country in Europe for 40 years.I never bought into this hype. I'm sure there are some places with political unrest that might be dangerous. But it has NEVER sat right with me how they downplay the sheer size of the second largest continent in the world.
