Tension As WHO Says COVID-19 May Infect 44m Africans by Gemid94(op): 5:50am On May 09, 2020
The World Health Organisation (WHO) says 29 million to 44 million Africans may get infected with COVID-19 in the first year of the pandemic if containment measures fail, according to a study.

The WHO Regional Office for Africa in Brazzaville, Congo, disclosed this in a statement posted on its website.

The UN health agency also said the study revealed that 83,000 to 190,000 people in Africa could die of COVID-19 in the first year of the pandemic.

“The research, which is based on prediction modelling, looks at 47 countries in the WHO African Region with a total population of one billion.

“The new estimates are based on modifying the risk of transmission and disease severity by variables specific to each country in order to adjust for the unique nature of the region.

With the way things are going in Nigeria, and the lackadaisical attitude of some people and region... They're just being optimistic and economical with the prediction.

When all we seem to be doing is begging for treatment equipment while folding our hands and praying OTHER countries develop a vaccine or cure soon with NO VISIBLE AND CONCRETE EFFORT TO START USING OUR OWN RESOURCES TO RESEARCH AND DEVELOP A POSSIBLE REMEDY!
