I know the deaths in europe are horrific, but when this thing goes through the slums of countries like India, Bangladesh, South Africa, Nigeria etc it's going to be on a whole different level.

Impossible but I suppose a government has to try and in so doing be seen to be doing something

South Africa went early on full lockdown
Army on full standby & i dont think they are close
To 3 figures in deaths .

They are sh*t scared that with HIV prevelant , the numbers who die will be closer to high 5 or 6 figures.

Interesting isn't it, almost as if the contagion rate is much higher and the death rate much lower than is widely believed.

Wow, best of luck with that then.
Don't think they got a cat in hell's chance
