>Africa's 54 countries have so far reported fewer than 20,000 confirmed cases of the disease, just a fraction of the more than 2 million cases reported globally. But the World Health Organisation warned on Thursday that Africa could see as many as 10 million cases in three to six months.
>The agency modelled four scenarios based on the level of preventive measures introduced by African governments.
>In the total absence of such interventions, the study calculated over 1.2 billion Africans would be infected and 3.3 million would die this year. Africa has a total population of around 1.3 billion.
>"We estimate that between 5 million and 29 million people will be pushed below the extreme poverty line of $1.90 per day owing to the impact of COVID-19," the report said.
Surely America can spare $100 Billion to save the Africans.
That sucks It’s likely the one with aids that’ll perish first due to weak immune systems But not surprised trump wants to kill off fat neets in his own country too

Guess they’ll stop having a zillion babies the hard way. Now that that’s decided, what shall we do with the hundred billion fucking dollars not thrown into that toilet?
I say a few more bigass aircraft carriers (immediately sent to the SCS to sail about) and oh hell, free collage for all children of legal citizens.

300,000 Africans might die in the US alone. Probably more. And that's with 1st rate medical care.
Am I happy now? You bet. All the money and aide that has been sent to that wasteland will finally be repaid. More dead africans are reparations to the taxpayer.
Chase Gomez
Nobody said it can't. And the Africans will probably be certain that raping a child will cure Coronavirus, just like it "cures" AIDS.
