{UAH} Coronavirus Africa map: Which countries are most at risk?

Friends

 

Do you know that as by last Thursday which is yesterday, 109 children died in the entire United States in only 2020, due to a flue infection? About such a number would easily get shot in only Chicago, on a long weekend during the Obama administration. The Corona virus to this posting has not killed a single American, they get infected and medically protected.

 

We are dealing with a case with a very ratcheted up noise.

A map has been created to illustrate the continent's most at-risk countries for the coronavirus and those best equipped to fend off the epidemic.

People hoped the coronavirus – or COVID-19, as it has been officially renamed by the World Health Organization (WHO) – was contained, stabilised or even on the decline. However, once Chinese authorities adopted a broader definition of coronavirus cases, at the flip of a switch the number of persons infected dramatically increased from an estimated 44,000 on 12 February to more than 60,000 on 13 February, with the vast majority of cases reported in China and, for the time being, no cases reported in Africa.

However, WHO and the African branch of the United States' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) prefer to be cautious: statistically speaking, it is highly unlikely that Africa will be the only continent unaffected by COVID-19, and it is possible that there are people in Africa who have the virus but have simply not yet been detected.

At this time, the various suspected cases in countries like Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso have proved to be false alarms.

In an effort to go beyond basic probabilities and platitudes, scientists from Europe, Africa and the United States teamed up to map, as precisely as possible, the virus's importation risk in Africa. Which countries are the most at risk and where does the illness have the greatest chance of being appropriately stamped out?

From the most vulnerable countries…

To answer these questions, doctors, epidemiologists, demographers and public health experts compared data, created a methodology and drew up maps.

The results of their work, which was conducted under the supervision of experts from INSERM at Sorbonne Université, were published online at medrxiv.org and provide a list – accompanied by various maps and charts – of the African countries most vulnerable to the arrival of COVID-19.
