A coffin-maker in South Africa has watched the coronavirus pandemic turn his business upside down.
Bosnia’s coronavirus deniers have grown more aggressive in recent months as the number of confirmed virus cases rise in the small Balkan nation.
It was a blessing in disguise, he said, to see someone with COVID-19 recover after so much exposure to death through his work.Pillay, a manager at the coffin-making business, said about 10 colleagues also were infected. All are now OK. Their survival reflects the relatively low death toll from COVID-19 in South Africa, and in Africa in general, as the continent appears to defy dire predictions that the virus would cause massive numbers of deaths.
