And, maybe Africa is actually reporting deaths of real Covit19 cases and not saying that people that died of say, cancer, head on car crashes, drownings, getting trampled by Hippos, lion maulings, etc., and not calling all those dying of the virus instead!! Truth sometimes hurt. Here, massive numbers help keep the country shut down, claiming more deaths, etc. to use against Trump. Africa doesn’t have a Trump to trash and blame. Commies here in what is left of the Republic have Trump, Christians, conservatives, gun owners, military members, NRA, football fans, etc. to blame it all on.
Well, that could be a factor, but even so, the IFR is 1/100th of the best estimates in Europe and the US.
That’s a huge gap, which might be explained away by multiple factors, but could also be evidence of something real. And if it’s real, it’s a huge effect.
I still think that HCQ is a part of the explanation for the super-low IFR observed so far in Africa.
