It just occurred to me to check what countries are corona virus free. And I stumbled upon the website shared by a mylotter here-worldometer. If you checm it, you will see that Africa has the least cases of it. I asked myself why? Is it because they have stronger immune system? Is it because only a few tests have been done? I wish I could answer. What do you think?

It is simple, they do not test people, how can they know if they do not perform tests? The cases are increasing right now, particularly in Nigeria.

@caopaopao In Europe we know very well that they do not have test kits and they do not even have enough hospitals to treat people.

I think the same what @happylife1 said.... But yeah, may be it's because less tests have been done so the cases aren't clear till now

Yes, the higher immunity and lesser contact with outsiders! and read this website too (not a ref link)

I think the virus is only just starting to hit Africa. I think we'll see a lot more cases there shortly.

@Janet357 I think they will find it very hard to contain the virus.

@Janet357 and their medical system maybe couldn't support many confirmed cases.

Maybe because of strong immunity, because the weather, not enough tested....

No, those in the southern hemisphere still had not felt the full impact yet based on the infected chart. Eventually it may switch at the second half of the year. After that the spread will reverse again. This is why it is so scary.
