Chinese Doctors Confirmed African Blood Genetic Composition Resist Coronavirus After Student Cured
14/02/2020 Teresa African blood genetics a cure for Covid -19 . That's right. Geographic accidents of birth can cure coronavirus. Doctors confirmed! At least that's what the social media post would have you believe. The virus is only fatal to about 5% of infections. With the bulk of victims being over 70 in poor health. So where did this come from? It started on south Sudanese click bait media site cityscrollz.com ( https://archive.is/sKtDE) the original article claims they got their information from the Cameroon Chronicle. Which has a dead link. Copy the text and you get a wikipedia article on sub saharan Africa. Now it's true that Kem Senou Pavel Daryl, a 21-year-old Cameroon national studying in China, became ill after contracting coronavirus. His recovery was credited to antibiotics and anti pneumonia medications. Not his magic genetic powers. His recovery took two weeks. Sorry my African compatriots. You don't have magic cure blood. Pseudoscience like this actually delays people from getting treatment as it implies a false sense of security. As well as breeding a kind of ethnocentric biased ignorance. Never hesitate to seek medical attention and never think your descendancy can offer protection. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-coronavirus-ethnicity/false-claim-african-skin-resists-the-coronavirus-idUSKBN20X27G https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/coronavirus-cameroonian-student/ https://factcheck.afp.com/black-people-arent-more-resistant-novel-coronavirus
