We're in the middle of a pandemic caused by a virus that is plausibly theorized to dwell, reproduce, and mutate at higher rates in immunocompromised populations

We're in the middle of a pandemic caused by a virus that is plausibly theorized to dwell, reproduce, and mutate at higher rates in immunocompromised populations. In addition, the course of the disease tends to be drastically worse for immunocompromised individuals. It's a bit of a mystery that Southern African countries haven't been harder hit. If you'd thought about this for just a moment without succumbing to knee-jerk emotion, this might have been obvious to you.

If you'd also have taken some time to think that an individual in the western world is more prone to the flu virus than a person in Sub-Saharan African is, you would understand where my concern arises from. Your 'immunocompromised' score at this point in this pandemic is probably higher ( my assumption, happy to see numbers ) than an individual in SSA. So again what exactly is the relevance of your point and do you know the difference between HIV and AIDS? Your claim that 1 in 5 people in South Africa has AIDS is just false and ignorant. You are using numbers of HIV for AIDS, which says a lot of your understanding of the difference between the two. Merry Christmas!
