> However, Dr Angelique Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association and a practising GP based in Pretoria, said it was “premature” to make predictions of a health crisis.

“It’s all speculation at this stage. It may be it’s highly transmissible, but so far the cases we are seeing are extremely mild,” she said. “Maybe two weeks from now I will have a different opinion, but this is what we are seeing. So are we seriously worried? No. We are concerned and we watch what’s happening. But for now we’re saying, ‘OK: there’s a whole hype out there. [We’re] not sure why.’”

Are you actually serious? You don’t know which race the US discriminated against in the past 100 years?

Native Americans.

Who stole pretty much all of their land, sent them on death marches [1] and kept them out of politics with discriminatory policies?

> Which race?

The answer is black people aka African-Americans (as well as Chinese but that’s just outside the 100 years) [1]

You do realise that black people did not have freedom of speech for almost all of America’s history?

The idea that America is some bastion of free speech is utter nonsense, when you consider that a significant portion of its population was denied this (and much more) based only on the colour of their skin.

I mean if you think about for most of America’s history it’s been a literal fascist state.
