Melinda Gates has warned that there will be dead bodies littering the streets in African countries if the world does not act fast to curb the spread of Coronavirus.
Ms Gates said this while speaking to CNN, on the novel Coronavirus and its effects in the third world countries.
She said she is worried for Africa and fears that the continent might not be able to handle the devastating effect of COVID-19.
"Its going to be horrible in the developing world," she warned.
“Part of the reasons you are seeing the case numbers still do not look very bad, is because they don’t have access to 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 Gates, who is also co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, fears things will get worst for Africa once cases peak because of poor health care systems and lack of humanitarian supports.
According to Ms Gates, her worst nightmare 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 physical distance, you have to go out and get your meals. You don’t have clean water to wash your hands,” she added.

You are not God. I reject this statement with the impunity it deserve and ***barred word***. But mark this day. Your intentions will all be dead on arrival. Shame on you all.
Lots of exaggeration in your message. What do you mean by " there is no clean water to wash hands in Africa"? Are you generalising or being specific about what you personally experienced? Covid19 is a pandemic and the whole world is affected. Whether it's Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East or what have you, we are all in it and it's killing everyone, whether you have sufficient equipment or not. Here in the UK, we are more than 11,000 deaths already...how would you explain that? UK has no clean water to wash hands? UK has no proper equipments? What about Italy, Spain, where people are dying like flies? STOP despising Africa! That continent is rich in natural resources and so many other things that we European don't have! We, the European, especially our ancestors, are the cause of why Africa is poor with certain things. WE all have to worry about EVERY ONE because covid 19 is not discriminating!!! I understand your point, it's true the third world countries have less equipment and stuff but still...they shouldn't be the focus at the moment because thousands of people are dying like flies here in Europe, let's worry FIRST about here...step by step! And then look at Africa and the Carribbean!
Your desire should remain at your backyard especially with your family, town, county, and state with the exception of people with African and black heritage. Amen
I Refuse to accept this evil prediction. It has been long in the waiting for the Gates and others of their sway to create and distribute their vaccines and other things that goes with that, first using the human guiniepigs of the unsuspecting vulnerable basically gullible greedy governments of Afica for their work. True a pandemic is out and affecting most of the earth but there is a bigger virus which most are blind to but those that are infected by it seek userp their positions to terrorise our world. They are in so deep in BUT there is the greater Inteligence of Life call it God or whatever sits comfortable with You, anď it is this intelligence which will eventually save, heal and deliver the nation and its people. Good will prevail and have the last word. I must also say here that Human lives are impregnated with the most powerful inbuilt vaccines got self preservation of the species. It's etched, loaded and coded in every human DNA. These other stuff is only trying to change this. Thie truth of our internal invincible power to save and preserve ourselves is the human salvation, this is our peace. We each need to learn how to access it. Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is self destruction. Educate educate educate!
Hmmmm I now understand why we Africans have all the natural sources but still poor. We have professors, Doctors etc but still poorer in knowledge. I have no comment than thank you Melinda Gates may God bless for your care.
God has disappeared the devil. It won't happen. The opposition in Ghana who side with assertions will all be disappointed. God is not dead and He has not forgotten His people.
Tell the Americans because Ghana and Africa we are fine.
So Mrs Gates Since you and your hubby have a biomedical facility there and now you are in this health industry all of a sudden why don't you guys make a cure and prove what you've invested there. You started providing polio shots for the purposes of reducing that infection so hopefully now you won't walk away from what you started. If you can't find a cure at least provide Africa with burial sites let's see what your going to do we are watching everyone should also.
No ma'am, this time is the time to be African if you're afraid of COVID as the virus thrives in winter. Africans have had ours...good old Ebola
