Social distance and self isolation created in Africa also where there no food and one lack access to water, how did their federal Government want them to survive indoor without help.

Is it true that there's no help from the government? Because if that's the case, then that's just a terrible move by the government. Here in the Philippines, people are not allowed to go out from their houses unless they have a quarantine pass (a card which is distributed per household). This allows a family representative to go out to buy foods and supplies. We also receive some helps from the government (rice, canned goods, condiments, etc.). I can't imagine a life in a quarantine without any help from the government.

Another thing I would like to correct is the phrase "social distancing". It should be "physical distancing" or "physical isolation".

We all need to remember, Governments are people. They will do what benefits them personally:
1. No quarantine if it is to their benefit;
2. Quarantine if it is to their benefit;
3. Caring for their people if it is too their benefit.

Sometimes the benefit is their conscience. Most of the time it is $money.

Basically we have an opportunity to compare how bad things could be if we had not any decent infrastructure

There are a lot of things that people in South Africa have to consider, and only the privileged people are the ones who can do it
  • Social Distancing is hard for them because most of them are in shared accommodation
  • They have no choice of "work from home"
  • Struggling health systems

Maybe there are a few cases right now there because they have struggling health systems there. I hope they find an alternative solution to the problem. Just like what others have said, it's not the solution for them.

The major problem of African countries most especially Nigeria is bad political leader, all they know is about themselves alone, if the FD government should give 100 thousands naira to each bvn acct registered, the government will not even fell the impact. No one even consider the homeless.

Well... that looks like a problem without a solution. That is not only happening in Africa, but almost all countries also do the same thing.

The government must think and provide the right solution before asking its citizens to isolate themselves. because, for those who do not have a steady income / or survive on daily income, self-isolation is a difficult thing.
