70% of Africans are under 30. Age was one of the highest risk factors for COVID.🤔
I wonder if that's because there's a high rate of overall mortality, i.e. they're only living past 30 sometimes?
It's because of a drop in child mortality which hasn't yet been matched by a drop in the fertility rate:
