The World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday warned of a continent-wide third wave of coronavirus cases in Africa as the continent's countries see major spikes in COVID-19 infections.
“In the last two weeks, Africa recorded a 20% increase in cases compared with the previous fortnight. The pandemic is trending upwards in 14 countries and in the past week alone, eight countries witnessed an abrupt rise of over 30% in cases,” the world health body said in a statement.
The WHO believes the spike in cases on the continent is due to the African winter approaching, an increase in travel and a premature relaxing of coronavirus restrictions.
Africa has had 3.7 percent of the world’s coronavirus deaths but make up 2.9 percent of the globe's reported cases.
“The threat of a third wave in Africa is real and rising. Our priority is clear – it’s crucial that we swiftly get vaccines into the arms of Africans at high risk of falling seriously ill and dying of COVID-19,” Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, the WHO’s Regional Director for Africa, said in the body's statement.
The WHO said that vaccine distribution has also lagged in African countries — 31.4 million doses have been administered in 50 countries in Africa, where around 2 percent of the population has received at least one dose of the vaccine. By comparison, 24 percent have been vaccinated globally.
In addition, almost 20 countries in Africa have already gone through 66 percent of their vaccine doses.
“While many countries outside Africa have now vaccinated their high-priority groups and are able to even consider vaccinating their children, African countries are unable to even follow up with second doses for high-risk groups. I’m urging countries that have reached a significant vaccination coverage to release doses and keep the most vulnerable Africans out of critical care,” Moeti said.
President Joe Biden announced Thursday that he would be sending 25 million vaccine doses abroad, 5 million of which are going to Africa
Who is traveling to Africa bringing it?
the sky is falling again
yep, they have to keep the fear factor going.


NO MORE PANDEMIC LIES!!!!!
3,500,000 global CCP virus deaths out of a population of 7,900,000,000 = 0.05%, and the average age was 80.
The overwhelming number of the people who died were obese and old.
When are we going to stop letting the terrorists run our lives?
At what point will this communist agency loose its credibility? Take a guess.
I feel like we just came out of an African winter.
So WHO gives a F***?
Watch for flying pigs.
Perfect cover for the CCP to takeover what’s left. I heard that AFRICOM has become a big racket for the Woke Pentagon. The battle for Africa is just beginning.
The WHO, the NIH, and the CDC have lost all the respect I
ever had for them.
When they utter things these days, all I wonder is when they
are going to wake up to the fact we aren’t listening anymore.
If they are stupid enough to think we are, I rest my case.
These people are living in a bubble, clueless to what the
mindset of people outside that bubble is.
Because of the Sunday pill (hydroxychloroquine) coronavirus will primarily affect the vaccinated. This has been their depopulation plan from the beginning
It’s the traveling vaccination show. They want worldwide vaccinations, so we need to move then venue when necessary.
It’s VERY important to them.
Notice in the pic that they aren't too friendly to the death squads roaming Pittsburg either.
Thanks for posting ...
Well it just a crisis... imagine when it combines with Ebola. Gonna be cray cray.
Actually that is incorrect. It is only a testing ground. Sad but kinda true. It is an experimental place.
Another sky is falling prediction designed to keep the fear narrative going and dropped down memory hole when it doesn’t happen.
So the Wuhan lab is still releasing new virii strains....
HOW IS THIS MY FREAKIN PROBLEM? I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO SAY OVER ANY OF THE MANURE THAT HAPPENS IN AFRICA. I DON’T CARE! I have my own life and my own problems. I can guarantee you that not one soul in ALL of africa, the un or the united states federal government gives a crap about me or my problems. I feel EXACTLY the same about them. I don’t care about their crap! WHY SHOULD I?
