Fifteen countries in sub-Saharan Africa and India carried almost 80% of the global malaria burden.

 

Five countries accounted for nearly half of all malaria cases worldwide: Nigeria (25%),

 

Democratic Republic of the Congo (11%), Mozambique (5%), India (4%) and Uganda (4%).

 

So keeping an eye on those countries would give them some idea of any effectiveness in the use against the

Indeed it is. Also six weeks old. I would certainly wonder why genuine clinical trials need to be funded by crowd-sourcing. If it was fair dinkum the government would be throwing money at them. It is News Corp, though, so who knows where in the article the single grain of truth is located.

 Death attributed to other causes is significantly higher now, than it was last year in the same time.  The question is why?  Is it because people with other, treatable conditions are reluctant to go to hospitals and die, or is it because there is lot more C19 death than we know.
