I meant South Africa is an outlier compared to the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. My apologies for not being clearer. The Covid death rate in SA was significantly higher than other sub-Saharan countries. I have not seen any figures for hospitalization rates, but would guess they were higher in SA than in other sub-Saharan countries, lower than in the US.
Indeed rates are high and low, comparatively. And yet, all the "rates" are lost when compared to the average death rate for a society / nation / people. In that frame, "Covid death rates" are indeed small throughout. It is amusing that, even so, the "rate" for the US is so much higher than South Africa in particular and sub-Saharan Africa in general.
I place this all within the larger frame of the thread, "Medical ‘experts’ struggle to explain...." For almost three years beginning with those few Chinese videos showing people simply dropping dead in the street, we have see "medical experts" say so much. And now they struggle? :)
