We need to think about Africa.

There is an understanding that the virus doesnt like hot weather but (given the number cases in southern Italy and Florida) this is a dangerous assumption.

Africa has much less capacity to deal with this than the west and they are getting cases. While the developed world itself is struggling, we at least have facilities or the capacity to make them. African countries can't borrow money and dont have the industrial capacity so others will need to help them.

This is from a humanitariam point of view and also self interest. If we deal with our owm crisis, we can still get the virus back from others as coronavirus does not care about borders.

There is a user on here from South Africa, he announced last week that his country was going on lock down as a precautionary measure. Looks like they are thinking ahead.
