A lock down in african countries is not a feasible idea, the housing, poverty levels, source of food, and hygiene is a major barrier
Diana wangechi tbf South Africa is the most advanced one sure there’s issues but it’s still a MIC(middle income country) or NEE(newly emerging economy)
South Africa has extreme levels of poverty but also a fairly successful middle class comparible to Europe.
The distance between the common worker and the specialist is incredibly jarring. 24% of the population is unemployed, 13% is illiterate and 53% earns under the equivelant of 20 US dollars a day
Phantomneko Cameron why put the acronym only to write it out?
Not entirely true, i mean, look at Tunisia, Algeria and Morroco, their lockdowns have been pretty successful.

No education no food no houses ….what is a Virus? Is it eatable?
This is a direct result of people suckling on and parasitically living off of the acompolishments of others.
If instead of building shacks controlled by violence and thievery,
If instead they came together, and worked together to build something from the ground up, they would be self sufficient, look at how many people are there. But because their mindset is each man for himself, they will stay in poverty untill time ends. Humans suffer from learned helplessness, and need to break free, and instead just realize that if they started to work together, they could solve all their issues, they have the poeple and the resources from an extremely rich land, to build whatever they want. But they lack the drive. And only aim for shot sighted goals. No one who lives in that place, cares enough to change it for the future. They only care about right now.
We have to be thankfull that a lot of us can go though quarantine with a home electricity, water a fridge and food in it.
Obviously a quarantine in this conditions is very complicated staying in these little shacks in the daytime must be like baking.
Gladly some can realize this issue. Lockdown is a nightmare for low income/poor class. They cant survive in a week
Thank white men for those inventions.
@@jewnbugshekelstein5180 😂😂🤣🤣
I am not thankful for any of this. It's a virus that was man made in China and should never have been unleashed on the world or invented in the first place.
@@jewnbugshekelstein5180 Yeah dumbo. Get a grip on reality.
Give it a month and all our celebs will be on our tv's telling us how 3 pound a month can save them

@Andrew Battersby google wateraid payroll, its more like the first 100,000 3 pound donations go to the CEO and below. Disgraceful and legal.
let's put quite simple: there's no house to stay in..
That wouldnt even matter if everyone just stayed 2 meters apart. It would vastly reduce the spread.
South Africa is followed by Egypt, Nigeria, Morocco and Kenya that make-up the top five richest African countries on the African Wealth Report rankings.
Hahaha love it
@@ge2719 The guy said there are 6 of them in a room. The only way they can stay any meters apart is if they leave the house. How about that?
@@moonstriker7350 and what about it? Its near pointless to try remain 2m from people in the same house eitherway. If none of them are infected then they can be having makeout parties for all it matters, none of them suddenly get infected from a room full of uninfected people.
The only way 6 uninfected people become infected is if they apl start interacting with other people who may be infected. If they limit it to only one of them going out and that person stays away from everyone when they go out then it drastically reduces the chance of then all ending up being infected.them all going out just to stay 2m away is idiotic.
He slapped the Coronvirus out of that guy
the reported said "punched" they wouldn't lie to our faces like that

Hahahaaaaaa!!! Yes, he did.
Some of these people have lived through , HIV, malaria, wars, famine cholera
Some don't even have homes to self isolate, so I just send my prayers out to the world right now. I think most simply have no fear of Covid 19 , 🤷🤔🤧
k love Most of them have weakened immune systems from HIV, malaria, hepatitis, tuberculosis, malnutrition, hemorrhagic fevers like Ebola and Lassa and goodness knows what else. They will die before fear will overcome them.
Idk, I think they fear all of those things, there's not much they can do about it though.
Wasn’t Ebola an outbreak in west Africa?? Did they have it in South Africa ? Idk 🤷🏾♀️
@@ashleys9829 no, we did not
Come in people, don't show your ignorance. There was never any Ebola in South Africa. There have been more Ebola cases in the UK than in South Africa. Fact!
I'll try and act shocked.
South Africa is in chaos anyway before all this.
Exactly
@@11Kslingshot never. In fact, China already owned Africa. China will never damage their assets or properties anyway!
@@11Kslingshot Or maybe not. They have a couple of things going their way: their society is not old, and they have way fewer people with all those chronic civilization illnesses that make people extra vulnerable to to diseases like covid19 and flu.
@@moonstriker7350 When it comes to illness they tend to be the ones always hit. Maybe not the first this time but it is there now. The poor cramped living conditions and a 3rd world heath care system is going to be a huge down fall

Even as a South African, I've never once been inside one of those township areas! They've got bigger problems than Corona!
This is what I have tried to tell folks!!!
MD CA the reporters and army are probably the one who end up putting them at risk unless it’s not from human contact.
Whats the leaflet they all have in hand all about?
my question is, how are all these news reporters traveling
Charter flights
They already have news correspondents across the world
That guy was in New York recently
Private flights. Maybe on their own jets.
Ykhraam media pass
Why isn’t the reporter wearing a mask?!?!?!
Because He’s already infected!!
(He doesn’t need protection!)
Joakim Henrikson 😂
Joakim Henrikson
I totally agree!!!
That’s why I said it so hopefully people can act better!!
For both sides infected or not!!
Because he’s in a shithole country, they don’t have masks
Probably already on malarial meds
The first person to be infected will be the reporter.
Kushal Shahi WRONG!!!THAT WHITE REPORTER has infected all my black family with the COvirus. Go back to europe..FACT!!
Audrey love your brain is infected by your stupidity, probably worse than covid 19
More like the journalist is the one who will infect them. In DRC the few Corona virus related death are from ppl returning from trip to France and Belgium
The reporter is probably the person who takes it over there
@@audreylove7783 that's a bit of a racist comment, yes fair enough, the idiot should have been wearing a mask, so as not to infect if he has it, or not to get infected from others, but wtf has his skin colour got to do with it?
How are they to stay lockdown in those tiny areas all the time? Their’ ‘homes’ are just cubicles to sleep at night.
nancy leeleansee Exactly and it's like 6 to a room.
As has been said, the response to this pandemic can be worse than the cure.
Natsy yes that is for sure and the sad truth is those extremely affected in more ways than one , even to the very extreme of dying from hunger remains invisible to the authorities.
The government should give everyone free money and free housing!
Sad

I am in South Africa. Please understand that a large number of our people, does not even know about COVID-19, ontop of all the other challenges they face. My heart is bleeding for my people.
Ayla Sanchez I feel your pain. I am a Namibian living in Iceland and I cry for the African continent. Our people are not well informed about the virus.
The Corona Virus was released in WuHan, China. WuHan is also the first city in China to go 5G. They did this in 2019. People are already making the connection
This truly is a battle between the light and dark. The dark know that it is over for them but they are pulling their last-ditch efforts to take down your economy in the US as well as others.
Yajuj Majuj double faced humans - Since they know now that their end is inevitable, they wants to destroy the surface human population in the process of their own downfall. They attempted that in December last year by triggering the financial collapse through the repo market, and that did not work, they tried that in early January through escalation with Iran, that did not work, they tried to engineer a false flag in Virginia, that did not work, so what is left?
A pandemic scare.
The coronavirus gives them ( Yajuj Majuj ) DOUBLE FACED HUMANS ample ammunition to play with people's emotions
From a South African point of view, I think there needs to be more awareness. I think many people, especially those who dont have access to satellite tv, internet have no idea on how bad this virus actually is. They probably see this lockdown as an invasion of their freedon
@zed365 🤔😂😂
Juju😂
I think they just know they are fucked so they dont care
lietomenomore.org asap guys shalom
Also the fact that people only got paid on the day the quarantine started. So insofar as purchasing essential goods is concerned, a lot of people living between paychecks could only do their shopping from today. That explains why so many grocery stores have large lines
the US could barely handle this
I can’t even imagine what 3rd world countries are gonna have to go through
because US is in reality a 3rd world country.
They will go bankrupt and condemn their people to a generation of even more extreme poverty, violent civil unrest and lives of privation....and not just 3rd world...i have friends in Greece and they believe their country is a month from financial disintegration where the government cannot pay pensions, unemployment or government employees...these state lockdowns will prove to be far more of a disaster than the virus

And people in the uk say by summer the virus will just “die out because it’s hot”
In an ideal world it’d reduce but then borders are still open so what’s the point if not all counties are under quarantine 🤷🏽♀️
Australia has been hot where i live
Coronavirus in body; Yes,yes keep believing that.
This has occurred to many as a stupid concept when countries with currently higher temperatures than our summer have the virus.
The sheeple like making nonsensical noises though, so that's what this is.
@@davidian7787 Florida is really starting to take off, hot and humid no sign it is any slower than Michigan.

@@nightstalker5282
america is currently making itself the example of how bad the virus is. in just seven days the virus went from 1000 to over 80 000 in america. south africa has managed to keep the coronavirus cases nice and low. for over a month the virus couldve ravaged and done worse to SA than in america yet here we are with our lockdown containing the virus more than many want to believe. we started the lockdown almost as soon as the first case was found and it sure is paying off.
i like how americans and europeans are trying to make it look like SA is suffering worse cases when in reality our cases are significantly less than theirs.
Go watch star wars, dreamer. They will die immediately from heatstroke if they all stay inside those shacks during the heat of the day.
N7Bane12000 excuse me! They don’t have the virus yet because they may have not come into contact with a person from abroad. This disease was brought to Africa by the affluent. If the rich stay indoors they will be fine 😱
@@muthonikinuthia9304 absolutely bullshit. Africa is not "miraculously" immune to covid19, there is just no money to test every single citizen. Here in Europe I was already tested only because I had a cough. The richest countries are testing the most, that's why it looks like they are hit the worst, when in reality, it's spread all over the world.
Everyone stay in your homes.

WHAT HOMES?

But we are in the same planet
Is coz God has had mercy on us Africans, if it should hit us hard we will all be gone coz of our ignorance and indiscipline life
The reason first world countries have more cases because they did more testing, Most developing countries lack the equipment and the skills to carry out test, dont think your nation have lower case mean your country better than other countries in handling coronavirus

They're already having a rough ride! They probably won't even notice deaths being 3% above the usual carnage. And with no testing, and no healthcare system to get overwhelmed, they will get to herd immunity very quickly and life will return to its miserable 'normal'.
South Africa is not all this...this in in the Townships...And i take my hat off for our President because he is trying to stop the spread but in townships it would be almost impossible...
He acted faster than a lot of other President ..

Juanette Nienaber really not a good situation there but yeah ur right they’re doing more there than they r in the UK so fair play... all that’s been said in the UK so far is “stay inside if u can, if not don’t worry, but make sure u wash ur hands”... pisstake basically like normal here with the amount of people about in the streets
@@The_Unexplained_Files I have no doubt about that (SA having great doctors), but I highly doubt anybody pictured in this video, besides the reporter, would have any access to those resources. Given the situation, it's kind of ludicrous to ask these people to stay indoors. With 6 people cohabiting in a tiny shack? that's simply not going to happen. That is the cruel truth about extreme poverty. The real crime here is in creating this situation in the first place.

Where is the credibility of the seriousness for the Corovavirus threat when the journalist himself does not wear a mask?
Not sure. But blacks in America hang out the same exact way during this virus in the hood. They are against covering their face it seems like. The reporter might be the same.
@@15xgg80 Honestly, it reminds me of the movie, 'Wags the Dog' - faking a scene but forgetting to use the prop.

@人へんたい I'm sick of this white colonialism bullshit come up with a better excuse, maybe that your brainless
Its easy to say that but imagine trying to do lockdown in a one-room shack with your whole family and in abject poverty.
Why is this lockdown even necessary in the area shown on screen?! Just because it may work in some regions of the world, does not mean it will work in all.
The housing is so close together, the reporter even said that “..people sharing 1 room shacks..”. The social distancing that works in other countries just will not work in that environment. From the images it does not look like the hygiene standards are sufficient to stop the spread either.
Why risk mass social unrest, which could be extremely violent and kill many people, with a measure that is unlikely to do anything?
They have to think of other ways to tackle the outbreak in areas such as this.
True. My government still not ready yet to lockdown since there's not enough preparation, yet many people screaming for us to be lockdown. It's the reverse of this
It's not about lockdown Its about powertripping abusing people. Wait the best has yet to come

But how they expect these people to be in a small room all day! They prob dont even got no food! This is sad... know that the prime minister there dont support the poor community!!!
just quarantine the village then. makes more sense in this situation
That's thinking with your big brain, why can't their government do that
What's the point when they have to live in such a way? As the man said, his home is one room shared with 6 others - imagine being cooped up in the heat in those conditions. It's simply not viable -this virus is just another thing trying to kill them. Poor sods!
Common sense is to sit quietly n front of ur home. By all means clean ur shanty
@@autobotdiva9268 I guess common sense is relative.

Imagine the real estate market after this pandemic's over in a year.
What's your guess?
Carla Gonçalves supply and demand. Dead people = much more housing available = higher supply with similar or even less demand. Prices will tumble
Please take a macroeconomic course first /facepalm
Virus is here to stay.

@Malik Mehboob speak for yourself, I self isolated in February
yeh, it was no kick and a punch as the reporter said eh
It was a milly rock slap
imagine having millions of people with this attitude in western cities...
oh wait...
lmao
Buy ammo lol
Would love to see where people live in anywhere near these sort of conditions in "western" cities

@@NURGLESBLESSING Many inner-cities in America do have atrocious living standards but not on the level of a place like Alexandria with unemployment, poverty and HIV levels unmatched in the western world.
I just hope if this ever ends the Chinese government the CCP are held responsible and punished rightly
And yet today they've decided to bring animal markets on , after they thought covid 19 is under control. Crazy
We Africans understand stuff in the hard way.
Everybody learns it in the hard way at the moment, don’t worry about that
@@chillix118 true. Look at the Us. Tumbling down at the moment
This is what Africans call bad game . they will be asking other country's. For help .
Where should they go inside? These people are on the poverty line no creature comforts inside let alone space

Places like this are just naturally crowded and overwhelmed with people who are used to just being close to people...
@@criticaltweaker4393 go live in that area lets see how your privileged race will cope...talking about "discipline "as if social distancing is possible in the slums

Lol. We did go there. In fact our race has enslaved your poor continent too many times to count. The Irish army could conquer Africa within a month
thought it was London
In twenty years.
They can never help themselves.
This is only one township. Most parts of the country are actually on lock down.

ofcos they going to show the worst
Nobody cares
There are close to 3000 informal settlements throughout SA. All of them suffer the same issues as Alex. Some are even worse.
@@JohnJones-ct9pr cant blame it on apartheid anymore! If blacks cannot manage their lives well they can all go to?
And if the camera crew hadn't been there,neither would the army...

Lol
When showing south Africa ,focus on the poor slums but when covering US and UK ,please only show the city centers😂😂😂
Word up
Well, there aren't any slums in the UK, so how could they show that?!
@@Pirosbor they are just fishing for likes absolutely stupid people
@@Pirosbor there are poor people in every country, even a superpower like USA has homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk 😂😂
This virus will be around for a long long time, unless a cure is developed. These poor people what are they to do.
1 meter away? Maybe only in Africa.......
The man: not easy at all, not easy at all......
They will keep distance when they start dying
Is same everywhere, no country acted properly. They wait for confirmed deaths to be able to start more drastic measures because of birocratic bullshit and stupid people in charge.
Always when it's too late 🤦🏻♂️
They don't know what's coming 😭😭😭😭 sad .
Than it's way too late

A soldier using violence? What has the world come to...
@Chuck Nourrizzz if that happened in the usa. It would have been all over the news and probably severe punishment for the soldier.
@Chuck Nourrizzz yes I was being sarcastic. Can't believe the shock the reporter showed when an armed soldier sent in for crowd control used a little physical force without causing injury.
Shouts "1 metre away " the crowd ignores him
they need a truck blaring that on loudspeakers until they comply...but probably won't work either...some people are going to be casualties...
They're not known for patience or thinking ahead, so this should go well...
I never heard anyone say south africans are not know for patience or thinking ahead, did u just make that up ?
Of course, because apparently white countries are doing just great right now with their patience and forward thinking.
@@roddaz let's see how well most of Africa is doing relative to Europe in about 3 weeks, bucko
MyriadIsSynonymousWithNumerous Africa will start a Mars colony in 3 weeks to escape the pestilence obviously
The title is misleading. Majority of South Africans were at home. The problem was in the township. But not the whole country
Imagine being this delusional
“Their homes, their ‘shacks’...”
rude. patronizing.
A correct description.
Welcome to Africa!
Great model for Europe
This is not going to end well. God have mercy on them.
Maybe the sa government should not have killed farmers and confiscated farms.
when did the government ever kill farmers?
I think they allowed it.

It was mainly peaceful except for in the townships. Just one report doesn't paint the full picture of how the day rounded off. Misleading
Wouldnt expect anything else from sky news
🇿🇦 No it's not misleading at all. This is a highly poverty stricken country with more poverty than not. Townships and CBD's are highly overpopulated with low/no income folks. This report is a far more accurate depiction of what South Africa experiences, it's not misleading at all. Sadly some ignorant South Africans living a privileged cushy life are highly out of touch with the reality of the masses.🇿🇦
@@narcissistshappen9360 Exactly. Inequality always breeds this 'us and them' complex amongst people of the same country. People fail to realise that there is no uniform experience. "Except for the townships" : Does OP not realise how many people live in townships?
Except for the majority of people in SA live in townships
It will endanger the world again... if the virus spread in Africa quickly...
I feel terribly sad for them. I live in California and in some places where Latinos live it's pretty much the same. No racism intended by my comment - I am an immigrant from Mexico.
South Africa is the richest African country on the continent with more than twice the number of millionaires in comparison to other African countries according to the Africa Wealth Report.
Dude, that wasnt a punch that was a slap. Fake news fake news 😂
Sky news is exaggeration nation mate 😂😂😂
What do u expect first it’s “news” they exaggerate everything, second he’s British, need I say more????
It’s Africa. How else would it go?
What an ignorant comment
Hmmmm. Can’t figure out the cause for that response. I mean they had a heck of a time convincing them that aids was transmitted by sex. Some still don’t believe it. That part of the world operates generations behind others. It’s not easy to help them sometimes.
Bruh america don’t even have enough toilet paper, masks, gloves sanitizer. So stop clowning them
@Slippschitts Hey yup I just stocked up today
WE have plenty of supplies in America. But the criminals are hoarding. I have a REALTOR neighbor who purchased face masks by the pallet and started selling them online for huge profits...
Looks like traffic is gonna be a lot lighter in SA after a few months
A lot fewer carjackings if nothing else.
best laugh of the day. thanks. hahahahah
