Is Covid-19 Real in Sub Sahara Africa?

Is Covid-19 real in sub Sahara Africa? Yes. It's effects are not being felt as say in USA or UK. True. A number of factors is at play here and me being NOT a medical specialist I wouldn't want to speculate. Other than state what the specialists have told us. The age group prone to this disease is above 50.

Aging is not an illness. It is a process. With age, normal body functions and activities start getting impaired slowly. Again that is normal. In this part of Africa with onset of these problems it appears as if a burden has been placed on a family. This isn't true, with careful planning and a bit of sacrifice. However, the burden aspect in our culture is more than amplified especially that we don't have proper social amenities to carter for individuals with minor challenges. For instance in Zambia if you become blind, they is no way you can walk into city centre alone or with the aid of a dog. What this means, another person need to be around. The same applies to the old people. With our economic situation sons and daughters may wish the parents once they reach that stage to kick the bucket. One reason, they need to focus on their own families and work which is source of income for survival.

Earlier I said aging is a process and as one ages he/she needs more attention. We may, again MAY NOT be giving this attention to our old ones hence they depart this earth quickly. As we have less of the above 50 and more of the below 50, Covid19 is not appearing as severe as in other places. For those with living parents please take good care of them. Work is something which you personally can create for yourself to suit your prevailing circumstances. Of course there are challenges in creating income but I am yet to see some life that doesn't offer challenges. @mule_net
