Africans and GASH

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a friend who works in Africa for many months every year, always in rural areas and his work involves alot of traveling around the different countries there, and when asked about how the Africans are viewing Covid, he said that they don't even think about it because they all have GASH. I'd never heard of this but it stands for
G    Gonorrhea
A    Aids
S    Syphilis
H    Hepatitis 
He's recently returned from South Africa and said, from first hand observation, that the average person doesn't even have Covid on their radar because they have bigger fish to fry with the GASH.
This does not bode well with Omicron.

	Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.

	I suppose for Africans it's a matter of perspective then.
