Viewing it from Africa, as an African, it is scary to think about corona virus (COVid-19) as to most of the people here feel as if it is an automatic death sentence.
As it is known widely, more than 3/4 of African Governments are criminally below average when it comes to managing the countries, no one feels any kind of security despite all of them keeping insisting that all is well and that they are prepared for the virus once it decides to manifest itself here.
However, it is encouraging to note that of all the registered infections, the number of infected people from African race is negligible and there-in, be it by luck, DNA factor or just an Act-of-God, that is only place where hope is left for Africa as, despite the unlimited resources, the continent is still grossly mismanaged and generally poorly equipped to handle such a pandemic.
That being said, simple calculation of the corona virus mortality rate is between 1 or 2 per cent per the number of people infected and based on its close relationship with other known viruses, which have been dealt with by medics and researchers before, there is a reason to believe that there will not be a mass wipe-out of the world population as most sectors of the media will have you believe.
Personally I would love to believe that COVid-19 was an experiment gone wrong and that there will be remedial strategies to cope with it and make it a passing cloud, other than the monumental disaster its portraying itself to be.
