Covid-2019 - 2020-09-04

Saturday, September 5, 2020
Summary:
Let's take a moment and celebrate how well the continent of Africa has handled the pandemic. 9 bp of population has been confirmed infected (world 35 bp). 0.2 bp of population has died (world 1.4 bp). Cases and mortalities have been coming down reliably for two months. What's the secret? The data is always questionable, but Africa comes into this crisis with a natural advantage: its median age is only 19.7 years!
