Africa's not got a lot of infections yet, so this is a sensible move. The US closing their borders for Europe though; gave me a good laugh.

Africa: No no we got enough going on here already. What with mass famine, tribal warfare, and a BUNCH of illnesses guys can keep your virus.

Ironically these days it's italy and greenland. Italy being super resistant to diseases is such a lie they need to patch that shit.

Slaves were sold by there own people, Europeans were not their only customer, they just streamlined the process.

Well usually by rival people's but yeah more their people than not their people.

They tried, some succeeded for centuries, places like Ethiopia, Gambia, Benin.

So, wait, you think if they were never colonized, they'd never modernized? Does this logic extend to every country or just dark skinned ones

Now they have AK's to fight with.

Well, they were selling their own people. Sooooo......

I'm sure they tried.

Italy invaded 3 times, last time lasted 6 years before they lost again. Then cold war did what Europe couldn't, Soviet coup.
ZombieZooZombieZoo
Italy tried to invade in the late 1800s but was defeated. Then Mussolini used mustard gas in the 1930s. That seemed to work.

Africa is collecting money to send aid to Europe.

When the son of the deposed King of Nigeria e-mails you directly asking for help, you help. His father ran the freaking country, okay Jim!

Welp, since no one else did: At least it's not AIDS.

It's not being orchestrated by a certain Nigerian prince, is it?

Netherlands will be fine, we're better equipped then Italy. The real pain will be the worldwide economic crash that's coming.

My brother is about that age - he was due to go into hospital for minor routine surgery - I ought to ring him to find out if postponed.
Slayage
A lot of hospitals here in Holland have postponed surgery's because of what is expected to come.

Most people will be fine - some won't. If I was looking for public health and good hospital care I'd stay in Europe.

You are right. Europe has mostly healthcare in order. I wish it were that way in every country.
