MedicalXPress: Africa suffers record number of COVID cases
Africa has suffered a record number of coronavirus cases over the past week, registering over 36,000 new infections per day, according to an AFP count based on official figures.
African nations combined saw a daily average of 36,141 new COVID-19 cases from June 28 to July 4 as the pandemic flares up across the continent, surpassing the 32,609 daily cases registered in early January, during the previous high point of the virus.
South Africa is the worst-hit country in Africa, with new daily infections hitting record highs of 26,000 cases over the weekend, fueled by the highly contagious Delta variant which first surfaced in India.
The daily figures across Africa had fallen under 8,000 in mid-May but have marched upwards since then. Last week's figures were a 23 percent increase on the previous week.
Part of the problem is that African countries are suffering from a crippling shortage of COVID vaccines.

1. We need to trial and hang the people responsible for this "outbreak"/"leak"/"release". Nothing but capital punishment will be good enough at this point. Too many dead, too many trillions lost. It's capital punishment, alright
2. We need to use the Nurnberg codes to also trial and hang by the neck until death all those involved in pushing those drugs which have no long term safety record on an unwilling and uninformed population. We have hung people like this before and we will do it again, and I for one cannot wait to see them hang for what they've done
3. We need to investigate just how much our corrupt oligarchy rulers(even Citi bank in a statement declared the USA is no longer a democracy but oligopoly) knew about this outbreak, are responsible for it, and then hang the guilty by the neck until dead for ALL TO SEE, otherwise this thievery, this inhumane debauchery and attack on the West will never end
