Abuja, Nigeria (CNN)Coronavirus deaths in Africa rose rapidly over the past month, as fatalities surged by 80 percent within the last four weeks, the World Health Organization has said.

WHO's Vaccine Introduction Officer for the African Region, Phionah Atuhebwe, told CNN on Monday that the continent was witnessing an unprecedented rise in coronavirus fatalities.

"COVID-19 death rates have increased across Africa, with the highest weekly rate (6,343) to date reported during the week starting 19 July 2021," said Atuhebwe.

"Deaths increased by 89%, from 13,242 to 24,987, in the last 28 days, when compared against statistics for the previous 28 days," she added...

...Only around 1.5 percent of Africa's more than one billion people have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Much of the continent relies on donations,,,,

sure there is, but it’s at the stage we were last spring, 150K cases, less than 10K deaths

here’s the catch, tho: median age 18

“Because of the high fertility rate, the population is very young, with a median age of 18.4 years.”

(because of a high fertility rate and a high mortality rate of grown men killing each other in century=long tribal conflicts)

#13. In parts of Africa, esp. sub-Saharan Africa, if someone has a really bad fart, whole villages die.

Thank the Islamic State/Boko Harem/ISIS, etc. for killing medical personnel wherever they attack, burning down clinics and hospitals, ambushing trucks with medical supplies, and just spreading death and a total collapse of medical services wherever they are.

Won’t see this is WHO, CNN. MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC news reports, studies, and in damned few interviews with survivors of Moslem extremist massacres.

China, Russia, Middle East, Eastern Europe, Africa, even India data is limited. That’s 3/5 of the world. It appears only Western Europe, Canada, Australia, USA and little Z-land are in mass hysteria. This matches well with the kook article, prior to Covid-19, that the west’s population/economy would crater by 2025.

South Korea, Japan, …. What’s goin on there. Are the dealing with it better on a percent basis.

I think the west has the Jonestown kool-aid in the hand are preparing to take a big swig because the west has lost its soul, pride, intelligence, and most importantly their salvation. All the things that made the west the center of world civilization over the last 500+ years.

Welcome to the Asian world order. That should last 25 years.

Africa has a big study going on right now involving 13 nationstates. The ANTICOV study tossed HCQ in the spring and has slotted in the parasitic, nitazoxanide, and an inhaled corticosteroid called ciclesonide. I figure if they’re also tossing HCQ, the numbers weren’t working and they’re looking for something better that’s just as inexpensive.

here’s a blurb of them removing it

South Korea, Japan, …. What’s goin on there.

I don't know about Japan*, but, SK is doing it with an incredible level of surveillance and tracking of the population, and mini-quarantines. I guess it's ok if being on camera any time you step out of your house is ok.

*Heck, SK probably bought and / or swiped the technology from the Japanese.

China and Russia aren’t going to give up their numbers but China’s research papers give them away

Japan has 1.2 million cases now is reporting 22,000 cases a day and just pleaded with the hospitals to take in more covid patients - they’re only allowing those needing ‘serious care’ into hospitals
Taiwan just rolled out it’s own phase 2 vaccine - the public is phase 3 - with less than 5% vaccinated
Malaysia has been reporting the highest number of daily cases globally, adjusted for population - 20,000+

Iran has probably about 400k deaths although they claim 1/4 of that. The mullahs finally allowed import of vaccines - they just reported 685 deaths in one day

so no it’s not just westerners
