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.

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.
