An open letter to Dr Tedros, #WHO.
Dear @DrTedros
I have abused my President the President of South Africa, when the questions I have been asking him, would be in your realm to answer?
I have personally heard you say, that the Coronavirus is not a flu, it is more deadly than any flu that the world has ever experienced. (granted, only heard on TV, and this could be fake news)
Do you rate the Coronavirus, more deadly than the 1918 Spanish Flu, which killed 2% of the African population, including 6,6% of the South African black population, a total of 300 000 black souls died in 42 days, a healthy labour force, aged between 18 and 40 years-old.
This leads me to my next question;
“Both the USA and United Kingdom, and attempting to assess why the Coronavirus is proportionately killing more black people than whites? Does the WHO.int have any opinion on this quandary?”
I ask this question, as South Africa’s 1918 Spanish Flu experience was that only 11 000 whites died, only 0,88% of the white population.
As an aged white South African, would this ratio still apply during the Coronavirus, if not, why not?
I have attempted to answer my own questions with regard to the comparison between Coronavirus and Influenza, the USA appears to have published their last flu death tally on March 14, 2020, and Italy, published their last flu death tally on January 23, 2020.
My conclusion to the comparison between Coronavirus and Influenza, is that it will take the medical researchers and statisticians, five years of research, to establish whether the Coronavirus victims, would be part of the seasonal influenza / pneumonia death tallies in the world.
My assessment, is that the 2020 statistics for both Coronavirus and Flu, would fall within the maximum 5 years limits over the past five years occurrences.
One last question,
“Do you accept that we, the South African community, by sacrificing our economy, our livelihoods, many starving, will have saved tens of thousands of lives.”
Your answers and guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
