Could it be that non Western countries might actually have competent healthcare systems that enable them to fight pandemics, and also don't have insane right wing leaders who think corona is a hoax? :curious-marx: https://twitter.com/BBCAfrica/status/1301298213190762503?s=19
I'll add a couple more:
Probably much less testing capacity leading to a lower count of confirmed cases
African countries in average have a very young population compared to western countries. It's not just old people dying of covid in the west but it's still where the vast majority of deaths come from.
