This new graph shows some interesting trends.
We've been repeatedly told that mask wearing countries were dealing with this virus better than us. (excluding China's figures, that are frankly unbelievable/fake)
I would say that all the world data is not the most reliable, whether that be by falsifying records or lack of testing. So like all graphs they could be way off the mark.
By the look of it, the only reason they appeared to be doing better was by locking down earlier. And as expected, they are then suffering an upsurge later. They are still wearing masks, so why the upsurge in Asia?
IE, we are all going to feel the same pain, it's just when/timing.
The Oceania numbers do seem to point to temperature/outdoor life style being of benefit. If true, a winter second wave could be a possibility.
So until a vaccine is available, is a slow herd immunity still a stupid idea, or a long term outcome?
