Observe that this fearsome variant is in the southernmost part of Africa, where Ivermectrin (for river blindness) and Hydroxychloroquine (for malaria) are not really in use.
Most of the endemic malarial and parasitic diseases, worldwise (let alone Africa) are in a band 20 degrees north and south of the equator.
Southern Africa wthere this mutation originated (apparently) is well south of that "dew line". As far as I can discern, MSM prognisticators, upset that Africa managed to escape the brunt of he COVID non-plague, are pinning their hopes on the wonderfulness of the news that even Africans can contract COVID, and children no less, and ignore this inconvenient fact.
Reminds me of foreigners getting off the plane in New York, wondering why they are not seeing cowboys.
It's just politcs, not science, as far as I can discern.
I think Africa has enough starvation, war, and disease to allow a little Covid to go completely unnoticed.
