But that may well be deceiving: sub-Sahara Africa lacks effective recording on how the virus is spreading. Reports of potentially hard-hit urban areas only occasionally make it to our news media, of course also because we are focussed on dealing with our own crisis in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, in developing countries health systems in place are overall weak and only marginally equipped to step up in the fight against corona. \u2018Flatten the curve\u2019 therefore cannot really apply\u2026 and only be wished for. Let\u2019s hope for the virus not to peak in Africa at it did in Europe, and let\u2019s continue to work towards access to clean water and hygiene for all!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\">remedy worse than the disease?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">In some areas where a curfew has been imposed to combat corona, you see an increase in the number of cases in which care cannot be reached in time, for example during childbirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Lock-downs also directly lead to even bigger problems: after all, the economy there largely runs on the informal circuit. People there take to the streets every day to earn a living. Consider a taxi ride, selling at a market or other services in the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">For those a lock-down means a direct lack of income. With no means for governments to impose generous countermeasures, a lockdown causes immediate and even worse problems.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-2-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-20-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11093 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-2-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-20-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-2-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-2-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-20-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-2-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-20-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-2-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-20-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/MADE-BLUE-Dag-2-Impactreis-Ethiopi\u00eb-Foto-Anne-Harteman-20.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center has-white-color has-lightgray-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-blue-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:100px\">&#8220;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trouw.nl\/nieuws\/hoe-waterschaarste-conflicten-in-het-midden-oosten-voedt~b6a08bb8\/?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F\"><\/a>How can you prevent infections if you can&#8217;t even wash your hands?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-blue-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:100px\">&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/update1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12093 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/update1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/update1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/update1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/update1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/update1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side effects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t stop there.
