Afrika. Mardröm

Miljontals riskerar smittas av coronaviruset i Afrika inom 3-6 månader. Afrika med sin extrema brist på läkemedelsutrustning och sjukvårdspersonal. PS Tio länder i världsdelen saknar helt respiratorer.

(--- Getting more ventilators to African countries is not enough, though. Trained medical personnel are also needed to run the machines, as well as a reliable electricity supply and piped oxygen.
