Yes it was.
Something came to mind while I was watching the malaria segment. The US, Carribean, and tropical areas in the Pacific regions used to be infested with malaria mosquitoes. People died regularly of ague, dengue fever, and other terms used for malaria. Now they're vacation resorts and the US south is liveable. It's been such a long time now that no one remembers the malaria epidemics.
I can't remember what was used to erradicate the specific species of mosquito that carries malaria, but it worked permanently even though the regions are humid and have heavy air. Perfect conditions for malaria to thrive. What would it take to do the same thing across those similar areas in Africa? Can it be done or is there something other than financial impediments to eradicate malaria?
Just curious. :shrug-shoulders:

GOOD JOB to American Idol for using the show to make a difference & the celebrities who donate their $ to help!

Africa has a lot of different problems its not just poverty. There is so much corruption which is lining the pockets of the elite, I mean they do have offshore oil there..but guess what.. That oil is exported to the west.
There are people living in extreme poverty in North America too. And until the governments on this side of the world irradicate it here, they will never be able to help others. ..

Sub-saharan tropic regions have likely considerably more Malaria issues than Morrocco & South Africa. Unfortunately, many of the countries have extremely corrupt governments, rampant crime, brutal violence, unmitigated poverty, and an inability to access basic needs such as clean water or regular food. Severe drought conditions hasn't helped, and that probably won't change either since the growing Himalayas have been pulling the rains gradually more away for thousands of years
