March 11, 2021 Coronavirus in Africa | Discussions | Episode 1
We give our quick take on coronavirus in Africa. There seems to have been a lower number of infections on the continent.
No one knows exactly why, but coronavirus lockdowns were not done for example in the country we are in, Benin.
We go over that and explain why that was probably the best decision in our specific context. We also discuss some of the reasons why we may have had a lower number of cases.
