Melinda Gates of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation made a grim and disastrous prediction about Africa at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
He warned that Africa would be the maximum on all continents and expressed fear that fitness officers would end up collecting corpses from the streets.
Her husband, a world-renowned philanthropist, would later echo his feelings. They know that. They have spent a great deal of their time and money in Africa looking to solve some of the continent’s chronic and persistent diseases and during this process interacted with officials of other levels.
They also had enough time to assess the limitations of our fitness facilities, so they know firsthand how prepared we are, in this they will not tell us anything we do not know, we know how un prepared we are for any disease. , leaves a pandemic. We know the dating between hospitals and our population; we know the proportion of doctors per population; We know the duration of our fitness budget for our population; we know how much of this petty budget goes to critical spaces and how much is shared through the ogas above.
So when COVID 19 hit China, Europe and the United States, when these complex countries began to run out of hospital space, it was assumed that we were going to have problems. It’s a genuine problem. We had neither the facilities, nor the money, nor the field to fight such a fatal and contagious virus, it seemed that the predictions of the doors would come true.
It’s been six months since the index case arrived in Nigeria. These six months revealed the weaknesses inherent in the system. They have witnessed deception, fraud, corruption, double judgment and indiscipline at levels. Unpleasant stories have emerged about palliative distributions; less than uplifting stories about testing policy have been leaked; Shameful stories have circulated about the abuse of the COVID 19 budget.
Even everything you can get is available through the rich and connected. They are the ones who take the test, several times if possible. They’re the ones who’ll have a bed in the isolation centers, no matter what. Most people are relegated to self-help and local herbs.
In the most sensitive of all this, there is popular indifference; Every time I pass out and watch the rush for transportation, I cringe. Every time I see other people in groups without face masks, I shudder. Every time I see other young people doing those things that other young people do without precautions, I shudder. Meanwhile, funerals, anniversaries, weddings, all those social purposes that constitute our social life, but also constitute high-risk gatherings, are on the decline. For many, the end of the confinement is a license. to go back to their lives in general. Some even see COVID 19 as a hoax.
If we were to be rewarded for our inadequacies and irreverence in control of the virus, our scenario would be worse than that of Brazil or the United States. We now collect bodies under bridges, in dark corners and in the corridors of the apartment facade. -me-I-I-face-to-you. It’s true that the tests were incredibly low.
But the resulting deaths should also have been very low, if we had to record a thousand deaths a day, as in america, that would have happened, as they say, you can’t hide corpses. Africans do not die like rats, as other people have predicted, which has interested many scientists around the world, but a recent study in Kenya provides credible answers: one answer is that Africans have been exposed to thousands of pathogenic coronavirus relatives (more than 40,000, according to the study) and have therefore developed some form of immunity. It is instructive that “the flu”, a coronavirus, does not record the same death in Africa as in Europe and America. Another answer for some explanation as to why our immunity is acquired against malaria. Another answer is Africa’s youth compared to other continents.
Another very likely reaction is our environment, which is not as “sterile” as in Europe and has given us herbal immunity against viruses. But the real smart news according to the study is that Africa has acquired herd immunity earlier than other continents and has stabilized judging. through the antibody surveys carried out.
Surveys imply that many more Africans have become inflamed with the coronavirus and are now resistant to it. If this is true, and it is a big yes, it means that Africa can start to open its economy conscientiously while caring for the elderly and others. people with chronic diseases.
But my own intuition is that God has a role to play in all of this. At the beginning of this pandemic, I used to pray that God would heal the earth until it reached the brain that God actually healed the earth. It just wasn’t how I expected it to be. The air is cooler and brighter in places where the smog has taken hold. Birds, as well as terrestrial and marine animals, the other living population of the earth, were suddenly discovered thanks to available data, healthier, freer and more exuberant.
Ozone depletion has slowed considerably. Yes, it turns out that It has taken God a year to heal his land. It is instructive that the two largest economies and the two main promoters of commercial pollutants have been on their knees for the maximum this year.
It is instructive that america, the world leader in science and technology, disobeys science and not in an unusual sense in such a childish, petulant and arrogant way. It is as if God has hardened the center of his Pharaoh so that he could inflict pain on them. So you can just humiliate them. Meanwhile, Africa has been looted and devastated by the rest of the world; Africa that has been ridiculed; Africa, which was going to suffer a severe blow, is getting a divine respite from the pandemic and will probably come out of this pandemic with as few losses as possible.
I could call this instinctive feeling a conspiracy theory. I don’t care. It’s mine. After all, we’re in a season of conspiracy theories, from Bill Gates to 5G and QAnon, and one of the leading advocates of conspiracy theories turns out to be the so-called leader of the loose world.
