It's still puzzling experts on why African cases are too few

To my knowledge, only one black person has gotten it - that Cameroonian student. OK?
We know that the disease is spread by close contact. Here are some possibilities -
1) Maybe African students in China are not that well integrated.
2) Africans fear a lot... I am sure no African is doing unsafe things in China right now... they are doing it by the book!
3) Let's face it - it's quite possible that we overestimate our popularity... So maybe we think that the Chinese people that we see around are "many"... Maybe they are really really really fewer. This is not their choice destination! maybe!! just maybe


but... It's a matter of time before it happens... that italian man in Naija points to the possibility of it coming from the western world while we are busy focusing on the east!



Kama tuta shikwa it will be from Europe not China.

But remember, it's a flu like disease, it's possible that the environment at the moment is not conducive for the virus to thrive. We're heading to the rain season and biting njeve in June July August, hoping it will be completely eradicated by then.


My thinking kama ni baridi then it affects everybody the african population particularly in hard hit wuhan the figures could have presumably been higher.

African officials are scrambling to prepare the Wuhan coronavirus potential spread among Africans living in China.

but time will tell

Low infection rates in Africa could be as mysterious as the Ebola case in Nigeria few years ago.
The Ebola victim was diagnosed in USA having traveled from Nigeria and the USA employed so much resources to minimize spread of the virus.
Nigeria did nothing but no other case was recorded.

[quote=sqft]Africans are immune to many of these things. I remember when there was bird flu and the world was saying that Africans would be most affected because they sleep in the same rooms with chicken but that never happened. Even this flu, we will prevail, there's no cause for alarm.

Africans need to remain vigilant. Every virus is different. Are Africans also immune from HIV ?

Eti Nigeria did nothing?
In fact that Nigerian Centres for Disease Control (NCDC) received a lot of praise from Europe with regard to the swiftness with which they moved to contain Ebola and the fact that 60% of people who contracted Ebola recovered.

Senegal has reported it's first case - a French citizen who has lived in Senegal for 2 years.

Let's take a bet... I think it's a matter of 'when' not 'if' - thus...where will our first case of Corona come from? I say - Italy!! some tourist/resident heading for North Coast will be our first case.

Yesterday's local news was claiming that some Germans at the coast tested positive.

The shoe is on the other foot now:
Travellers from countries with severe coronavirus outbreaks who arrive in Guangdong province, an economic and export powerhouse in the south, must undergo a 14-day quarantine - state media reported on Tuesday.

It's a matter of time before this strand of RNA makes it to our shores. Maybe it's already here and we are largely asymptomatic people. Once some old people with cardiovascular issues die of it - we attribute it to some random thing (maybe even witchcraft or evil eyes).
