It is now official that the entire continent of Africa is being hit with the 2nd wave of the pandemic. Just look at South Africa, a country with a population of less than half of the old country and a much more advanced/developed healthcare system is experiencing literally carnage. Hundreds of its citizens are dying and more than 20,000 others are being afflicted with the deadly virus including the new strain on a daily basis. Now that country is the new exporter of the new strain of this deadly virus. How about Morocco and Tunisia? They were once cited as poster children of controlling the pandemic. But look at them now? Citizens are falling like autumn leaves. The old country shows it is still in good hands. That gem of the colored has its mojo working and let’s hope and pray that it will remain so and the numbers will not get terribly worse. Insha’Allah!!!
