J Clin Invest. COVID-19 threatens health systems in sub-Saharan Africa: the eye of the crocodile
J Clin Invest. 2020 Mar 30. pii: 138493. doi: 10.1172/JCI138493. [Epub ahead of print] COVID-19 threatens health systems in sub-Saharan Africa: the eye of the crocodile.
The threat of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) to health systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) can be compared metaphorically to a lake in Africa infested with a bask of crocodiles and the saying: "the eye of the crocodile." In the lake, only the eyes of the crocodile appear on the surface while the rest of the body is submerged in water. In this Viewpoint, the eyes and the body of the crocodile represent the public health preparedness and health systems, respectively, in SSA.
