I have - yet another - dumb question.
Case Fatality Rate for the USA is supposed to be 2.7% but 0.9% for Uganda and 0.8% for Tajikistan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_death_rates_by_country
Is that because Uganda and Tajikistan have such better health care systems than the USA?
I would venture that the US has a much higher % of very elderly folks living in nursing homes.
(The nursing home my Dad was in until his final days at the hospital is now a hotspot.)
