Yes.. Africa seemed relatively untouched until recently which I thought odd considering the Chinese presence .. A buddy from Africa.. arrived about 8 years ago I think.. was telling about his doctor cousin in North Carolina.. She was telling him that due to the cost of testing and the way the HC system is in the US.. folks come in with symptoms.. but cannot afford the test.. Soooo they are offered the choice of being considered infected with Covid.. and not being actually tested.. What this will do to numbers is interesting if true... ..how many colds will be counted as Covid.. how many flus .. will flu be lower than Covid.. affects the actual infection rate also.. all data would be skewed and useless. Covid will refect as far more virulent than reality...
