Coronavirus: Melinda Gates Says ‘Dead Bodies’ Will Be Littered All Over The Streets Of Africa [video]

Melinda Gates, wife of billionaire businessman and Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, claims that there will be dead bodies all over the streets of Africa if the coronavirus pandemic reaches a peak there in similar ways like in Europe, America and Asia.

Melinda states this while speaking to CNN, on the effects of the coronavirus pandemic in the third world countries.

She said her heart is bleeding for Africa because she is worried that the continent might not be able to handle the devastating effect of the deadly virus.

“My heart is in Africa because I’m worried. It is going to be horrible in the developing world and part of the reason why you are seeing less number of cases is because they don’t have access to very many tests.”

“Look at what is happening in Ecuador, they are putting bodies out on the streets, you are going to see that in countries in Africa,” Mrs Gates noted.

Melinda fears things will get worst for Africa once cases peak due to poor health care systems and lack of humanitarian supports in the continent.

She pointed out that her worst fear was when she “saw what China had to do to isolate enormous part of its population. My first thought was Africa. How in the world are they going to deal with this.”

“I have been in townships all over Africa and slums. When we talk in country physical distancing and hand-washing, if you live in slums who can’t physically distance, you have to go out and get your meals. You don’t have clean water to wash your hands,” she added.

Africa has recorded at least 13,686 cases as of April 12, 2020, with 744 deaths, and 2283 recoveries.
