Africa and India

too busy spreading through the states atm.

not many went skiing in january

Time was and observing what was happening elsewhere seems to have helped.
They went into "lockdown " early when not many cases .
Much of Africa has low density population.
There is some (unproven) theory that warm air temperatures slow down transmission rates ( that won't help South Africa as winter approaches)

As with everything, India is a worry,  cases are rising and very large population many living in high density cities.

Hope they are still doing well in a couple of months.  Not sure how India can lift lockdown but also a real concern as to how people will be able to afford food - doubt government will pay them 80% salary.

Very low figures from Africa..is the virus petering out?

i put this on the related thread earlier -

a $1 test in senegal, they test everyone who enters a health centre and use chloroquine. according to this report, so far they have had only two deaths and have the third best recovery rate in the world.

Africa has gazzilions of Chinese working there..really surprised at such low low numbers..maybe just maybe this fecker is dying off.

Do we trust the reporting ?

No of course not but never the less it is looking like very limited damage..hope its fizzling out...like most virus' do.
