Good question , could be the climate plays a big factor there and the fact Ivermectin is used there all over a anti-parisite drug.

The Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, Dr. Haruo Ozaki, recommends Ivermectin for use with COVID patients.

He notes that the parts of Africa that use ivermectin to control parasites have a COVID death rate of just 2.2 per 100,000 population, as compared to 13 times that death rate among African countries that do not use ivermectin.

If you don’t have anyone over 65 and don’t have winter, you don’t even notice it.

I’m guessing younger median age combined with greatly reduced obesity rates compared to the US and Europe. The Zimbabwe obesity rate for males is around 15%. USA is around 40% obese with 70% + overweight. I’m guessing way more time spent outside on average. The use of medicine to treat diseases endemic to Africa.

Well, duh:

ABSTRACT

Off-Label Use of Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 Treatment in Africa Against WHO Recommendation

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7505701/

COVID-19 is continuing as a big challenge for the globe and several types of research are continued to find safe and effective treatment and preventive options.

Although there is a lack of conclusive evidence of their benefit, there is worldwide controversy to use anti-malarial drugs, hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, for the treatment of COVID-19. FDA issued an emergency use authorization to the use of these drugs for the treatment of COVID-19.

On the contrary to the FDA, the European Medicines Agency has warned against the widespread use of these drugs to treat COVID-19. Finally, the WHO declared that clinical trials on these drugs are halted after the devastating findings of the study published in the medical journal called The Lancet. Against this fact, there are several rumors about the irresponsible use of these drugs in Africa for the treatment of COVID-19.

This work aimed to review the off-label use of these drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 in African countries against WHO recommendation. Data on the use of these drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 in African countries were searched from credible sources including Scopus, PubMed, Hindawi, Google Scholar, and from local and international media.

The study showed that many African countries have already approved at the national level to use these drugs to treat COVID-19 by opposing WHO warnings. In addition to this, falsified and substandard chloroquine products started to emerge in some African countries.

The health sectors of the African government should critically compare the risks and benefits before using these drugs. The WHO and African drug regulatory organizations should intervene to stop the off-label use practice of these drugs against the licensed purpose and distribution of falsified and substandard products in the continent.

Maybe an answer to the low Covid cases in Africa.

A bit more at https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2021/11/covid-19-in-africa-its-not-just.html

Ivermectin was and is a “wonder drug” as far as Africa is concerned. It was developed in the 1970’s to treat parasite infestations, which kill and cripple untold thousands in Africa every year. Wikipedia notes that “In humans, these include head lice, scabies, river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, ascariasis, and lymphatic filariasis. In veterinary medicine, the medication is used to prevent and treat heartworm and acariasis, among other indications.” Ivermectin is so successful at treating these illnesses (endemic in Africa) that its developers won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015. It’s been included in the World Health Organization’s Model List of Essential Medicines. (That’s a whole lot more than CNN’s derisive dismissal of the drug as “horse dewormer”, isn’t it?) Indeed, it’s so effective and so popular that it’s an over-the-counter medication in large parts of the continent - no prescription needed. Tablets cost pennies apiece.

Hydroxychloroquine is also a “wonder drug” in Africa. It was developed in the 1950’s to prevent and/or treat malaria, a scourge that kills up to a million people every year. It’s also been found to treat “rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and porphyria cutanea tarda”. It, too, is on the Model List of Essential Medicines. Hydroxy has become a standard, over-the-counter prophylactic medication in malaria-infested areas. I took it for years in Africa when traveling through such regions, and it stood me in good stead. (It’s greatly preferred to older prophylactics such as atabrine, which is less effective and has nasty side-effects, including turning your skin yellow.) It’s also very low-cost, and freely available.

We know that both Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are effective against COVID-19, despite all the pharmaceutical industry’s propaganda against them. Why would the industry campaign against their use? Very simple: because they’re both off-patent, freely available, and very low-cost indeed - among the cheapest drugs available anywhere. In India, which has relied on Ivermectin as a primary medication against COVID-19, I understand that a prophylactic treatment for a single person costs the government 24 cents. Compare that to the cost of a single [demonstrably ineffective] vaccination, for which Pfizer, Moderna, etc. are reaping literally tens of billions of dollars. Follow the money, and you’ll find out why the industry doesn’t want freely available, low-cost medications to threaten their vaccine income.

So, given that both Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are commonly used in Africa to prevent and/or treat other diseases, I’m willing to bet that a large proportion of the alleged “undercounting” of COVID-19 cases in that continent are because potential victims are already taking medications that can potentially stop the disease before it starts. In other words, COVID-19 can’t get a foothold in their bodies. I suspect that’s a more important factor than most First World health experts are willing to admit.

Get Fauci over there.

It will sweep the continent in 24 hours.

And he’ll pretend to not know why.

I’m going out on a limb here but early on Fauxi (Jan 2020) said this is nothing more than a bad flu and masks don’t work with respiratory virus.

As a trained surgeon I know that that average pore size in a mask is 10,000 nm, the virus in about 100 nm.

Since then a local radio station played about a dozen Fauxi clips saying masks don’t stop respiratory viruses starting in the 80’s.

I think at this point in time, in January, Fauxi was telling the truth but after Davos he pretty much did a 180.

Found this interesting

Don’t know but I’m beginning to believe it’s possible. (After all we are suppose to believe Kyle is white supremist!)

TWO EASY ANSWERS!

Because of the extreme heat in Africa and malaria, the usage of HCL and invermectin is widespread and VERY common. As such, the CCP-Coronavirus is quickly beaten down by these ‘dangerous’ drugs. After all, HCL has ONLY been used as a medicine for 50+ years, and ONLY 2.3 BILLION courses of ivermectin have been prescribed since its discovery. VERY dangerous drugs.
</sarc>

In addition, spiritually, God is respected, and a great many Africans pray to, and DEPEND upon His Provision. Not so much in ‘the West’, the ‘post-Christian’ West. Perhaps God has removed his hedge of protection over the former ‘Christendom’, but not Africa.

But I’ve been told that, here in the US, COVID is far, far more dangerous to black people... and poor people...

The thing is - if Ivermectin works so well - why are no nations actually prescribing it. I’m not saying I don’t believe in the conspiracy theory but you’d think Russia or China or Iran or any non-western civ aligned nation would be giving it to their people and leading the way.

Africa has lots of things going for it. Black people here get COVID more than average. Black people in Africa get COVID far less than average. Here are some reasons:

First, the whole continent is younger. Where they are older like South Africa and Egypt, there was far more disease. AIDS wiped out many older people so the average age is around 30. And there are very few elderly people.

Second, Africans do not have a weight issue like Africans in Europe and especially the US. Being obese raises your rate of having a bad outcome from COVID by 300%

African countries can not get vaccinated like other countries. Many are too poor to refrigerate the vaccines. So they have used anti-virals. Which have worked.

African death rates are high to begin with. Also their record keeping is low. So, COVID will not decrease the life expectancy much and there aren’t many to record how people die.

And for those who think China did it on purpose. There are a million Chinese in Africa. They could have spread it there like they spread it to every other country that works closely with China. But China gave it to Europe and America. They need Africa. So they did not spread it to Africa early on. There were zero or practically zero cases in Africa for a long while. Then they started to pop up in Egypt and South Africa where there is more contact with Europe. China clearly gave it to Italy through the thousands of Chinese who work there.

African continent: Under 15, 41%; over 65, closing in on 4%

U.S. only: Under 18, 22%; over 65, 16.5%

Age might be one of many factors.

Let's see...Africa is 95% black and having no major issues with the wuhan flu. Yet blacks here in America are considered to be high at risk.

As blacks here trace a history to Africa....what's the difference in the result between the two groups??

Notice this “busy market” is an open-air market? I suspect the lack of climate-controlled buildings (central HVAC) in most of sub-Saharan Africa may be among the reasons they have been spared the worst of Covid. There are likely several factors at work, with this perhaps among them.
