Why is Africa not seeing these kind of numbers?

Maybe it’s not about race.

I think it’s a cultural thing. Asian cultures seem to take the most care in personal protection. The West not so much. Third world countries, probably even less. And then there is the availability of PPE issue for each country.

I think it is the living condition in the public housing. I was talking about countries not reporting their outbreaks.

Example: The numbers of death in Ecuador are not reflected in the counters.

Maybe poor countries do not have the resources like the USA, Italy, and other countries to collect data with.

In the end we are going to be very shock on how many death there is in the world.

Blacks and native Americans have large numbers of people with diabetes and/or obesity, which might explain why they appear disproportionately affected.

Of course, liberals are already hollering that it is because they are poor and don’t have access to good healthcare.
