Without early detection and containment, African countries are at severe risk, says Africa CDC headA visitor sanitizes their hands before being allowed into a state hospital at Yaba in Lagos, Nigeria on February 28. Pius Utomi Ekpei/AFP/Getty Images
Despite operating multiple direct flights to coronavirus-hit China, there were no confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus in Sub-Saharan Africa until last week. That is when Dr. John Nkengasong, Director of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention , received a phone call in the early hours of the morning from Nigeria, where an Italian travelling on business was rapidly diagnosed and isolated.
I think there are two dangers facing Africa now -- the first is our ability to detect quickly, and the second is the ability to contain it. Nigeria was able to detect the virus quickly, I would say. The coming days will tell us if the containment strategy is right. The contacts of an individual who tests positive must be isolated and their contacts traced quickly.
Africa is a very diverse place. But why are some countries in Africa very susceptible to this particular disease? There are very few countries in Africa with those systems in place in their hospitals to care for a large number of patients. They may be able to care for some patients, but not for a large number of patients if they are overwhelmed, like we are seeing in China.
Question in the states that it is high is it ok to have packages coming from those states? Can the virus be on the boxes or anything? Maybe someone sneezed, coughed, etc on them and dont know if they are infected but are in a well infected state? Just wondering. Coronvirus

China’s government lies almost as much as the US Government. Both countries are led by losers

So most of the dissidents and protesters have been rounded up and infected.

Time capsule from almost 100 years ago unearthed by demolition workers in North DakotaIt was found to contain several documents of historical value to the city of Williston. People were always burying these time capsules back in the day, without reckoning on the amazingly short memories of the people involved. I'd say 75% have probably been forgotten. We buried one 30 years ago in my elementary school but the teachers have retired and I forget where.
