Thank you. Africa's average age of death is 64, quite a bit younger than our 77 years average in the US for sure. However, not too young to escape a true pandemic. The average age of death for victims of the so-called Spanish Flu was only 28.

As for being bad at data collection, there are states in the US that have not updated any vital statistics since 2019. So I have to admit my congratulation of a continent is way oversimplified, but the booster enthusiasts who dismiss that continent's outcomes proceed with experimental injections at their own peril.

They also have better diet than most Americans. The prevalence of bad outcomes in elderly Americans is because of the chronic ailments (a.k.k comorbidities) caused by a lifetime of poor lifestyle decisions. I would have been surprised, in the past, by the lack of curiosity about why some get sick from covid but most don't. Not any more.
