Bill Gates, a co-founder of Microsoft and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), has said that he does not understand why coronavirus numbers have not been as high as predicted in Africa.

Recall that Gates and his wife, Melinda had in more than one occasion, warned that there will be dead bodies all over the streets of Africa if the world does not act fast enough.

Melinda said her heart was in Africa, adding that she is worried that the continent might not be able to handle the devastating effect of the virus.


But in his end of the year note, Bill said he was happy his prediction about Africa has not happened, “One thing I’m happy to have been wrong about—at least, I hope I was wrong—is my fear that COVID-19 would run rampant in low-income countries. So far, this hasn’t been true,” he wrote.

In most of sub-Saharan Africa, for example, case rates and death rates remain much lower than in the U.S. or Europe and on par with New Zealand, which has received so much attention for its handling of the virus.


“The hardest-hit country on the continent is South Africa—but even there, the case rate is 40 percent lower than in the U.S., and the death rate is nearly 50 percent lower.

“We don’t have enough data yet to understand why the numbers aren’t as high as I worried they would get — but gave probable reasons Africa was not as affected as expected.”

Meanwhile, Nigeria is currently fighting the second wave of the coronavirus.

The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 had last week announced a second wave of the dreaded virus.


The Federal Government on Tuesday directed civil servants from grade level 12 and below to stay at home.

They are to remain at home for five weeks following the second wave of the COVID-19 disease in Nigeria.

Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, on Friday stated that COVID-19 related deaths now stands at 1,246.

Nigeria currently has a total of 82,747 confirmed cases in the country

I'll say built immunity over time due to several diseases we've suffered in the past.

I fink Akachukwu at work (God's Marcy) because him see the plights of Africas

Tell him to bring his family down to where it all began



Wakanda for ever

Because Africa contributes the very least in the tilting of the balance of nature.

Newtons 3rd law of science: For every action there is always an opposite and equal reaction.

You cant have so much AI and robotics thereby putting a lot of people out of work, unemployment alongside unguarded birth control giving rise to anarchy, violence and anger, yet not expect nature to intervene in balancing that imbalance.

Everyone's wondering too.

Not just Gate.

What I'm saying is, we've been through malaria, we've been through typhoid and other diseases to the point that you'll have malaria and not even treat it and it will go on its own.

So we must have had the Covid and didn't even know it, only those with pre existing conditions are very sick and may die.

e wan commit vaccine fraud

Higher infection results in greater antibodies produced which equals better immunity

watch as them righteousness geng start casting and binding the devil here now

anyway there are lots of reason why corona didn't hit Africa like other Continents one of it is what oga Seun mentioned the other day about the hot sun in most African countries and again sef our body is more likely to produced better anti biotics compare to Americans
