Tanzanian President John Magufuli-who has not been seen for three weeks and was widely rumored to be sick with Covid-19, a virus he has downplayed for months-has died.

He later scoffed at wearing masks, criticized regional neighbors for imposing lockdowns, and rejected coronavirus vaccines until his government independently verifies them. Posted By Persist
