Saving the developing world from COVID-̉̑

Declining coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection rates and plans to begin easing lockdown measures in some parts of the developed world have provided a ray of hope after weeks of unrelenting gloom. But, for many de- veloping countries, the crisis may barely have begun and the human toll of a major COVID-19 outbreak would be orders of magnitude larger than in any advanced econo- my. With the US having recently recorded more than 2,000 deaths in a single day, this is no trivial matter. If the inter- national community doesn’t act now, the results could be catastrophic. Sub-Saharan Africa is a case in point. Sever- al countries there would face signifi cant challenges in en- 1
