There are also fewer than 2,000 functional ventilators in public health services across 41 African nations that reported to WHO.

Africa that Africa that mind your own fucken business, Africa well never became an epicenter of covid 19 we okay.
Hope the virus does not show its self there
Africans are Survivors Per Excellence. Besides we fighting this epidemic using guerrilla warfare and it is working much better.
What is wrong with you guys America and Europe is bleeding but you are so obsessed with Africa! Africa is a blessed continent and we shall provide a solution for this covid19 pandemic.. learn from Senegal. Stop this nonesense! You know Africa is the richest in the world.
You wish. Bastards

If only we (Africa) can repent and give our life to Jesus Christ completely, we are 100% safe for He is the resurrection and the life. Also the 100% cure to every disease including covid-19.
Tell Trump so he won’t fk this one up. He can stop traffic from Africa or he can just let them in for a few months.
The virus hasn't finished with America yet! When it gets to all the states that haven't locked down, there will be another wave.
The crurent and next epicenter is America, i guess maths isn't ur strength u should compare those statistics with those of Europe and usa. so far African countries have handeled the outbreak much better than any other continent, last update was a 1$ test kit made by Senegal!
Focus on your country and leave Africa alone.
If these racist right wingers didn't just stay home then Africa would be more safe. Only racism can be the motivation.
All these Networks about Africa has a bad health care system and shit but we all saw what happened in the advanced countries with coronavirus. Just saying 🤷🏾♂️
🤔
There are 54 countries in Africa, and hopefully they've learned from the successes and failures of the West and Asia (Pacific rim). Plus, the population in general is very young (median age: 18). Best wishes.
When America gets to 100k then maybe!

They deserve it. Stop making poor children.

You'll never say anything positive about Africa. Go to hell
No one cares about Africa.

This prophecy won’t come into fruition. people forget the different political dynamics of Most African government, it’s authoritarian law in that curfews and lockdowns are implemented to the fullest.
They're getting Terminated.
Munozonyanya kuvengawo imi. Don't worry about us.We are sorted.Trump told us the trick.

Western society using its media to prep Africa for Bill Gates Russian Roulette Vaccine tests!!
Let's send all of our resources to help Africa

And rest assured the Republicans have barely even given this a thought. They're a bunch of racist bigots, save for maybe a few. It's not race that's the diversity among them, its money. It's always the love of money with the Republicans. Truth VoteBlueNoMatterWho
They’ve decided the outcome already.
I thought most of Africa was in bed with China
Not an appropriate usage of 'poised'; advise word choice.
Looks like the fuckin' Beastie Boys 😆
Surprising though that US has more cases than the continent of Africa
China is going to be held accountable!! Pray for Africa!
May the Wildlife rebound.
You've been preaching this doomsday for Africa for quite sometime,some even lied about millions of bodybags for Africa,you have strong well equipped health systems but people are dying in their thousands,let Africa be
I pray and hope as a whole world we can get rid of this pandemic soon enough
Stop having children then. ThinkSmarterAfricans
There's irony in framing countries in Africa as having fragile health systems when people start GoFundMe pages for medical bills in the U.S.
We better get that border wall up. And pray for Europe.
The Chinese will take advantage

I pray for all of my African brothers safety
