COVID-19 is not a threat to survival for most people. In many developing countries, most people are very young. Malaria and AIDS are bigger threats.

Most people in Subsaharan Africa (60%) die of infectious diseases, a quarter of those are respiratory infections. COVID-19 is probably going to add relatively little mortality on top of that, but let's hope that effective treatment is available soon!
