This pancocojams post provides a compilation of some comments about Covid-19 that I happened upon while reading the discussion threads for several YouTube vlogs about African Americans visiting South Africa in December 2021.
This post also includes a video of African American vlogger Mansa Mayne enjoying himself at a Johannesburg area nightclub name "Tanzania". Many of the comments that mention Covid-19 are from that vlog.

Four of these comments were previously added to the discussion thread for https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2021/12/african-american-youtube-vlogger-mansa_16.html (African American YouTube Vlogger) Mansa Mayne Tours Lion & Safari Park In Johannesburg, South Africa (Dec. 16, 2021). I deleted those comments from that discussion thread and added them to this compilation.

"Get well soon man! ❤️🩹✨ we’re happy you’re having a good time! Btw a lot of us have been sick from the weird flu. Get some Benylin 4FLU at the Pharmacy and cut up some Ginger, Turmeric and lemons and boil in hot water. Season with cayenne pepper and some honey, it worked for me ✨ Corenza and Linctagon works too 🤍 get well and enjoy Cape Town!✌🏼"

"Yeah it's true we've all been under the weather with flu, Flusin and Sinutab are also great."
This December 16, 2021 vlog was about Mansa Mayne in Cape Town, South Africa. However, comments about that African American music reaction vlogger feeling "under the weather" began to appear in the discussion threads for vlogs (such as the one given as "B" in this post) that were published after the no chill and other South African men who looking after Mansa in Johannesburg took him to that nightclub named "Tanzania". In the discussion thread for this vlog, Mansa had the sniffles and said he partied at "Tanzania" [nighclub] from 10:00 PM until 8:00 AM the next morning.
