Coronavirus: How will the developing world cope? - BBC News

Hundreds of thousands of people already die every year from preventable diseases in the developing world, where resources are scarce.

But how will they cope with a health challenge on a truly global scale?

The BBC's Secunder Kermani and Anne Soy compare how prepared some countries in Asia and Africa are.

Yes delevoping countries have financial crisis but I always find it heard to understand the media when they try to show the poorest places. Eg this woman is showing probably the poorest place in Kenya ie Kibera, why dont you show places like muthaiga, westlands cos you want to show the world that you are poor or what?

For your information even those so called developed countries they have far bigger problems, eg homeless people in the streets. So please when you show Kibera also show us how those in Karen are coping with Coronavirus. Thank you much love

Yeah developing countries like the UK and US

A year from now we'll look back at this in such disbelief. All four of us.

Time for the rich country of africas government to start plowing money into their own people!!!

*India has 48000 ventilators*
*Thats 35 per million*

[Yakarash]

Wow! The kenyan Reporter is beautiful! Unependeza sana!

Answer: We will not cope! We are already struggling as it is and the British Acting PM has already said that the government has been too slow to deal with the Coronavirus.

What the HELL BBC, why aren’t these reporters sending a message by wearing a face mask?

[princemadana]

They will definitely do much better than britain

In Colombia politicians have stolen the money that was supposed to be given to the most vulnerable. Politicians all around Colombia created new id's and random names such as or BBBB to keep the money that was supposed to be used to help elderly people and children in real need. Most people have been sacked because of the quarantine.

This is just a beginning of the much bigger crisis.
Wait and experience the life in a few months time.

BBC's official website shows that there are 35 ventilators in India per million. Here they show that only 11 are available. You can't really on BBC now.
They know that more people watch videos. *Propagandists*

[micable]

Like they always have. With very little help from supposedly humanitarian, caring nations.

By applying for British citizenship and properly getting it.

Dear BBC News, thank you for colonizing us. Now be proud of yourself.

[Torsengi]

Richest neither mean most developed nor most capable. Italy and uk are the biggest examples of that.

[chupachups]

Many people already lost their lives during the pandemic. And the disaster will continue in the coming months😷

[marshawoods]

So you’re going to keep up with this negative posting and calling it keeping people informed? It’s on the downhill slide common sense tells you the more concentrated population we have the more cases we will have duh

[rahulgopalakrishnan]
