Shades of Donny D, eh? Safari Suits in Pink Crimplene could make a come back if I rocked up at North Tce wearing that clobber.

Can't stop, just off to Glenelg to hold back a Flood. Laters.


Here you go, jut to refresh your memory unless you were at Glenelg (Spell it backwards) on that fateful day

America boasts (?) of being nearly 50 % T2Diabetic. ( Pre, and Pre-pre diabetic.... is just the trainwreck heading for, but not yet arrived at the Station) In short, they'd have the worst - average - metabolic health in the world. All diseases prefer the weaker, worn out, metabolically damaged and over-tired targets over the metabolically fit, properly nourished and perfectly healthy.
Which is precisely what we're seeing.

i agree with the metabolic health but thats only half of it. the level of medical infrastructure is also important. and the US has a high level compared to other countries.

CFR for the US is 2.8%
Mexico is 10.3%

howver I cant explain why Italy and UK have a high CFR when I thought they had a good level of medical infrastructure.

China also has a high level of medical infrastructure but the virus ran rampant there first.
UK is high medically, but has the worst infection rate in Europe.
Africa has low medical infrastructure but also a low number of cases.
It's puzzling.
Must be other factors.
One might be the willingness of the population to act responsibly, which seems low in the USA.

Chinas level of medical infrastructure is varied, most people there wont have access to the high levels and they have a very high population density, which results in high case numbers. i believe the deaths in china are near the 8million mark
