Not countries known for their testing.

One of the all-time great posts...

It seems to travel and spread via rich people who travel a lot.

Once an unsuspecting area is infiltrated with rich travelers then those areas can become hot spots.

Rich people haven't travelled to and from Africa as much.

But it will hit them.

Same with Russia.

....It's just that no one rich really wants to travel to these places so they've been spared so far.

Lenny Leonard :

The title of your thread starts with "White people disease? ..."

Just a reminder that this started in Asia, not Europe.

They only die of Ebola.

At first I wondered if Africa and the rest of the world were going to hit the same curve, just later. Now after a couple weeks, it looks like cases are not spreading there nearly as quickly as US and Europe. Certainly a younger population and quick actions taken helps.

Most developing nations have a hub and spoke transportation system. One major international airport, a few national highways and zero or practically zero rail travel. Commuter Buses are common but generally not used by the visiting mzungas, gringoes, and white devils. With systems like this, infection clusters are more likely to die out fairly quickly.

In comparison, the US and Europe have high capacity, interconnected transit systems that are perfect conduits for a communicable respiratory illness. But yes, Americans and Europeans are fat, lazy and allergic to the outdoors. That doesn’t help either.

21,000 deaths and about 15,000 were old white people.

There was one death in Kenya. A bunch of youths socially distanced themselves from an old drunk guy who they thought had covid19 by beating him to death.

Sooo bad.

I laughed.

Coronavirus in Europe (white person disease?)

Locusts in East Africa (?)

You need a geography lesson. Africa isn’t the only non white area of the world. You know it started in China, Iran is getting blasted with it... etc

Iranians are white....

The reason is because they are strong faith in god. Only countries that are against god are being affected the worst.

Well, Blacks in the Northeast U.S., are getting the virus, including a 36-year-old Brooklyn school principal who just died.

There's been huge development projects made by Chinese companies with Chinese workers all over Africa, which is probably going to be the lead vector of the spread of Coronavirus.

Chinese and Koreans are white?

Blacks in the US have ancestry of about 25% European and 75% African.

African countries actually have a lot of experience with infectious diseases and are pretty good at handling them. African countries have been on alert for coronavirus and vigilant about travel restrictions, testing and containment. Russia is also a big success story. 149 million people. 495 cases of coronavirus despite sharing a vast border with China. Very early on, Russia closed its border with China and closely monitored people coming into the country from places affected by coronavirus. They tested like crazy and did contact tracing and quarantines to prevent positives from turning into an outbreak. And that shows that the coronavirus outbreaks in the US and Europe were really conscious decisions by governments to prioritize short term stock market trends over effective infectious disease control measures.

Your post started out well and then gradually took a SH#T. First, "African countries actually have a lot of experience with infectious diseases and are pretty good at handling them"??? Uhhhhh why do they have infectious diseases in the first place?..... Because their health safety practices are terrible and they get so much practice as to how to "manage" them. You don't hear about how many deaths occur a year within African due to their extremely unsanitary third world countries. Second, Africans are not very transitory within their country and stay relatively close to home in rural areas. You will find outbreaks in the major cities but not throughout the country. Third, RUSSIA!!!! do you really think the data out of Russia is accurate? Do you think Putin will show any signs of weakness by divulging how many are infected due to the virus? I wouldn't be surprised that he exercises some form of genocide to eliminate any infected persons to keep the numbers down. Finally, and this is where you go full-on Democrat-Pelosi-Schumer "Suck Me Off Mode" by blaming the outbreak on the governments of Europe and the U.S.

You need to stop watching CNN, MSNBC, and all the other Left-Wing garbage T.V. shows. Get a life, get a clue, and get EDUCATED!!!!!!

Well done.

Lol yep.

On target.

EPO kills viruses.

Nobody has mentioned that this virus not does thrive in hot and humid climates like many African countries--I believe the molecular structure is more apt to break down. In the US there is also an expectation of a summer decline perhaps followed by another spike in the fall.
