WNU Editor: I can easily see the African continent becoming the next epicentre for the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic.

WNU, agreed, they will see a lot of infections.. but.. at least their population is a bit younger, right? and fewer immuno-compromised people (like diabetes and cancer in the US due to aging population/obesity)
Also, at least they have a bit of a head start and were able to watch what happened.. first learning from China, then learning from Europe and the US.. in terms of learnings they should be well off.. in theory.. in reality, likely due to the relatively low internet connectivity in some areas (not all - some are well of like South Africa, I believe), the information may not have spread..
Corona virus came in contact with Chuck Norris , it's now put itself in quarantine
