Covid 19 Notes for Africa

The Corona Virus continues to ravage the world. Here  is what Africa could learn.
1. Europe and America is not the heaven they have always claimed. There health systems too can be overwhelmed. They too have poor people. Last week alone, 6.6 million Americans were out of jobs, and they were to depend on assistance from the government. They have homeless people too, and their media will never show it.
2. African leaders must develop Africa for Africa. They steal from us and bank their loot in Switzerland and other Western countries. They get sick and go for treatment abroad. Now is the time for them to use the facilities which they abandoned. There money is useless now.
3. Let's empower our geniuses. Had we taken care of our best and brightest brains, they would have developed cutting edge solutions for our problems. We cannot be depending on European experts  to be solving our problems. For instance, malaria kills thousands of Africans every year. But since it does not affect the rich world, it has never been declared a pandemic. If it would have been a first world disease, it would have already been eliminated.
4. We must be financially secure. Right now, we are asking China to forgive our debts as we battle Covid 19. We are doing the same to World Bank and IMF- asking debt forgiveness. For how long shall this go on? Right now, many African countries cannot afford a lockdown since we do not have social protection measures for our poor.
