We are the third largest nation. I might expect to have 3rd place.
China is lying.
India I don’t know if they are lying or just don’t have systems in place.
Or they may take Hydroxychloroquine more.
I heard somewhere that is the case, but don’t know for a fact.
India isn’t lying. It doesn’t have the systems in place PLUS they have the advantage of climate:
> each year they are less hit by respiratory viruses than temperate countries - even though India is dirtier, more polluted, less hygienic
> heat seems to deteriorate virii
> humidity slows the transmission of the coronavirus family of viruses and also removes them from surfaces faster
> there is a unvalidated correlation (seeming correlation) between malaria affected countries (like India, subsaharan africa) and those with lower COVID-19 cases.
I’m guessing that heat and humidity CAN be a factor (not a proven one) - so perhaps Florida will be lucky?
