The remarks seemed to give no agency at all to Africans or Africa’s capacity to respond to the pandemic. You’re going see that in Africa,” she said in the interview, which was roundly condemned in Africa as being harmful and hurtful in the extreme, thanks to its negative stereotyping.

They’re putting bodies out on the street. How in the world are they going to deal with this?” Gates told CNN’s Poppy Harlow in an exclusive interview on April 10, 2020. Some, including philanthropist Melinda Gates, warned that bodies from Covid-19 would litter the continent. Comments from health organisations and aid agencies were at the time criticised for pandering to stereotypes about Africa. This is in sharp contrast to the grim predictions about Covid-19 in Africa. How far away is the light? How quickly could you get there? What would you be risking by leaving? Are there predators or obstacles in your path?
