"Efforts by health care systems in different countries to combat the coronavirus are contributing to the spread of another dangerous disease that continues to cause more and more deaths," he said. The most deadly animal in the world did not rest during this pandemic. Mosquitoes infect millions of people every night with malaria. This disease causes the death of a child every second minute of the day. Mosquitoes do not "wear masks" and do not observe "social distance", and in many countries the peak of the coronavirus occurs at the height of the malaria season.
According to Gadin.Net, the American billionaire, the founder of Microsoft Bill Gates said this on his blog. He noted that safety practices have made it difficult for doctors to prevent and treat malaria. Interruptions in the supply of anti-malaria products, such as bed nets, antimalarial drugs, and delays in rapid testing, make matters worse.
"In 2014, endemic diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV / AIDS killed more people than Ebola during Ebola in West Africa. Because the epidemic disrupted local health systems. "
The billionaire believes that the same thing can happen with a coronavirus. If the situation does not improve, the death rate from malaria could reach 2,000, killing 764,000 people.
