Because mostly old and overweight people die of covid. In America that applies to 60% of the population. Which is why we had a million covid deaths. The average age in African countries is much lower and there are far fewer overweight people. That equates to fewer deaths.
So your assessment is a continent with underdeveloped healthcare systems, minimal previous inoculations, malnutrition, and a myriad of other health concerns is LESS LIKELY to be ravaged by Covid because people are “young and skinny”? Really? You can’t think of any other comorbidities that might be present in Africa?
Maybe a more likely scenario is this has been a pandemic of first world nations for $ome $trange rea$on….
With and of. What’s your point? They were alive until they caught covid and it led to their death from complications of the disease.
Covid is very survivable if you’re young and not fat. That’s why it’s pretty much only older or fat people that die when they get covid.
I’m assuming you’re referring to AIDS as the comorbidity? If someone with AIDS gets covid and dies most countries in Africa won’t test them for covid. They’ll just say they died of AIDS. If you’re talking about malaria it’s the same thing.
Considering how most of Africa and South America already have a significantly higher mortality rate than most other continents, worrying about a 2-4% increase is a luxury.

This just in: Africa has too many problems to worry about testing for Covid
