Hmm...hazarding a guess the countries of Africa fared as well as Sweden did. That is some issues but nothing like what the countries who locked down experienced.

I found the read at Concern USA to be informative and factual without a partisan spin. According to them, the three reasons that Africa may have been spared the worst of the pandemic is that its population is younger, its climates are warmer, and many countries are used to dealing with public health crises.

It does go on to enumerate the downside of many of the WHO recommended mitigation efforts:
- The ripple effects of lockdowns and border closures have hit hard, pushing 55 million Africans below the poverty line
- Other crises were also sidelined in order to curb the spread of the virus, leaving many emergencies underfunded
- Pandemic-related inflation has also contributed to rising hunger rates in many countries
