Some epidemiologists argue that Asia will never reach the stage of Africa. But the concerns here is with Asia’s huge population size. India’s 0.8% already means an estimated 5 million infected. About one-fourth of Africa’s total 22 million. South Africa’s 21.5% represents 4.8 million people, lower than India’s 0.8%.
