Deaths vs Vaccination Rate
« on: 23/11/2021 15:20:45 »
This seems interesting. I'm assuming that a high proportion of African deaths are going unrecorded, and that African countries without the resources to collect death stats also have fewer resources to administer vaccines.

My son offered to teach his Ugandan students rugby. Their spokesman said "No thank you. There are plenty of other things that can kill you in Uganda".

COVID kills about 3 - 4% of those it infects, mostly over the age of 60. So it won't feature very strongly in Africa just yet.

If a country has not got a flu vaccination programme it is not going to feel the effects of corona in anyway as much. If all flu vaccinations stopped working tomorrow this winter the uk would see catastrophic levels in the hospitals. African countries also have a proponderance of other nasties such as malaria.

Except that Corona kills a lot more people.
It's true that in some places, a virus that kills the over 60s won't have as much effect because poverty will usually get there first.
