1. Why are we not seeing more problems in Iran if so many people have it?To which I would add a fifth.
2. Why is nowhere in the world (with the possible exception of Iran) currently as bad as Northern Italy?
3. Why did Singapore’s containment strategy work, in such a high-density location? Their program is mostly symptom/temperature checking-based, but supposedly a lot of transmission happens before any fever manifested.
4. Why isn’t China seeing a second wave? There aren’t nearly enough infections for herd immunity to be reducing R0.
5. Why isn't Africa seeing more cases?In addition, I am curious about North Korea. Of course we don't know, but with a population adjacent to China and also likely weakened through malnourishment, I suspect we will have bad news out of there soon.
And finally, what about Japan? Covid-19 appears to be especially threatening, even almost exclusively threatening, to the elderly. As a country which has been rapidly aging and among those with the largest population of the elderly, why has their death rate been so low?
