A Africa it is the continent poorest on earth and the conditions of health there, in the vast majority of countries, it is so total insecurity. When a Covid19 pandemic In the early months of 2020, experts in the medical and scientific fields began to expect the number of deaths to increase it would be thunderous in the region. But time passed and the information that came in was wrong few deathscompared to other places on the planet.
With a pandemic year, many paramedic is large selection of scientists started betting theories it actually did Some senseespecially when data has been crossreferenced human attributes e geographically from the continent. So it was believed the lowest average age from Africans could be related with the smallest number of dead as most death toll in the world was composed from older people. The weather mostly hot also served to feed one of the theories since viral respiratory diseases not found not heat a good environment for propagation.
However, an indepth study is conducted by Boston Universityin the USA, in partnership with scientists University of Zambiabased in Lusakacapital of the country, proven that the explanation it was someone elseanything cheerleader: a gigantic one under reporting.
A team of scientists led by Christopher Gilan expert on infectious diseasesalready worked in a morgue from Lusaka since 2017 and with that there was even easier death dates in the Zambian capital during the pandemic period.
While Europe was absorbing 2,390 dead for each group of a million inhabitantson the African continent was this index 184 to the every millionnearly 15 times not less. In fact, one happened there few diagnoses. The team of scientists went further test the deadto really know when they died and if this information agreed with the death certificate officially. To get an idea, in one of the examples, 372 dead were tested e 19% of them gave positive for Coronaie 70 people were victims from covid, just six of them was diagnosed in life and received such information as cause of death in your testimonials.
From there it was easy Expand the number of tests and the number of samples to recognize what error It was customary em everything the tested cadaver groups. The researchers noticed this too all ages were affected by the disease and that 80% of deaths occurred in humans under 60 years oldwhat a reveals appalling mortality rate among those who were not the common goal illness.
For Gil, such a reality is seen the resemblance out of sanitary structure it’s from healthcare out of other African countriesDefinitely repeatedlike in cities like Nairobi, Cairo or LagosWhat play on the floor all the theories that have put Africa as a place so far “more immune” to the devastating Covid19.
