Social distancing and self isolation

[Mauser]

In a continent like africa with a very underdeveloped and analog systems, practicing social distancing and self isolation is next to impossible. They have very underdeveloped transport systems, underdeveloped markets and the most serious of them all, people that are not well informed and civilized to deal and handle the realities of the virus.

One the one side this is true, but because the health system is not as developed as in the western world, the people in Africa need to look after themselfs much more. They can't rely on the government to fix everything for them. Another thing is people in Africa have to deal with more illnesses and viruses than in other places. We can just look back a few years to the Ebola outbreak and how terrible it was for the people. They really needed international help to contain the outbreak. So I think people in Africa listen more to doctors giving advice on how to deal with corona, than people in the developed world. Just look at all the recent riots happening due to curfews and lockdowns.

Of course they want them to isolate and stay out of the sun. That way they reduce their vitamin "D" and are more susceptible to infections.

Here is a thought - self-isolation is racist. Dark skinned people need more sunlight to build Vitamin "D". Removing this option makes them more vulnerable than light skinned people.

Many people in the world experienced the help coming from government won't reach them, even the give relief goods. Some country have a lot a budget, they deliver their food in their house so people could stay in their house. Some people thought, they would neither died with hungry or get killed by COVID, hopefully government give the best plan to reach their people.

Social distance and self isolation created in Africa also where there no food and one lack access to water, how did their federal Government want them to survive indoor without help.

Isn't this stereotyping on how africa as a continent progress? Do we really think that africa is still the no water community that we believed in?

Yes there is poor community in africa, but I think that they are not that affected by the covid as they are somehow isolated from the cities which the virus is concentrated.

This is very sad when you think about it. Many countries can't afford to support their citizens on a big scale during these difficult times. But without these security measures and social distancing how can we really contain the crisis? Also the vaccines are very expensive. How can everyone afford it for 20-40 USD?

you are right, we need to make distance for a while.

Where have you been? It was shown long ago, that the reason why Africans aren't affected by Covid is, they have been taking HCQ for decades, for malaria. And they get plenty of zinc from their simple diets.

Nice insights, but I don't think that's the reasons because it is only a treatment, not for prevention
