Malaria vs COVID-19

Cheki, we need to stop this nonsense, sawa? According to the WHO, in 2017 malaria deaths were estimated at 435,000, with Africa accounting for a whopping 93%. Malaria mortality rates have generally been on a downward trend. So assuming it will claim 366,000 African lives this year, that’s 1000 dead Africans per day.

Corona, on the other hand, has only claimed 13000 lives in 3 months. Only. That’s less than 150 deaths per day, worldwide. In a world with a population of more than 7 billion, that’s hardly something to get hysterical about. 88% of previously infected people have recovered. In 95% of currently infected individuals, the condition is mild.

As a bonobo living in sub-Saharan Africa, the data tells me I should be more scared of malaria than this COVID chieth. That’s why I ensure I sleep under a treated mosquito net every night. I shouldn’t have to shit my pants over some exotic condition simply because it’s affecting the world’s richest more. That’s umeffi of the highest order. Plus, we need concrete data on this corona chieth’s effect on Africans. We can’t just assume the effects are the same for everyone based on what some ghaseer Caucasians and Asians are going through.

It’s a fact that medical research and solutions use the bodies of white caucasian males as a template for all bodies. They rarely consider gender or ethnic diversity. Call it denial, but these are facts bro.

A mosquito is a big bangling thing that makes a lot of noise. Only low IQ fools can sit around to be poked by slow flies until they die.
