It is well known that mortality rate comparisons, country to country and even between U.S. states, are problematic. Differences in the how numerator - COVID deaths - is measured, and how the denominator - COVID cases - is measured, make reported mortality rates unreliable for comparison purposes.
That's not too say there isn't something up in African countries. Medical experts agree the impact of COVID in African countries is unexpected. Even accounting for limited testing, it seems the number of cases and deaths across Africa are far less than much of the world. Over time, out of scientific studies rather than political debate, we will come to know the answer. The political game will have moved on to the next hot topic by then, and most Americans won't give a crap.
