Frankly, with Egypt having 298 cases, South Africa having 480 cases, Morocco having 53 cases, Tunisia having 19 cases and the list keeps on going, all of these countries have an exceptionally higher number of cases than Algeria. And, moreover, using Echorok as a reference is quite a pain to the eyes: it has zero credibility! Algeria is third in Africa!? Does this mean that Morocco is no longer and African country, or Egypt too?
