#7  When my sister had a storefront in NYC her landlord told her straight up: "If you didn't go bankrupt at the end of the year your rent is too low." By the same token, audit tax returns and anyone who has money to donate to an NGO gets bumped to a higher rate until they stop doing that.

#5  Here's another expert and his projections.

If you google "coronavirus deaths africa" it will not give you data on deaths for the first few pages. That's the first tell. If they could sell the fear, Africa death rates would be page one front and center and would be repetitious down the page. But i found the data buried.

Majority of cases are from S.Africa. As it sits, 200 coronavirus deaths in Africa so far as of April 2.
