Why India or Africa is less affected by covid

This bike is very popular now. In India, the same patients die from covid 10 times less often than in developed countries. In some places in Africa, people die as much as 100 times less often. They get infected, get sick, but survive. Even the old people.

Three generations under one roof

There is an idea about "packed" old people in developed countries, and "locked" old people in poorer countries.

Packaged is not in the sense that they have a car and their own apartment. It's about nursing homes. There grandparents live very tightly, and covid outbreaks mow down entire floors or buildings.

There is an opinion that someone from the outside world constantly throws a virus to them in nursing homes, and that already among the elderly guests is growing by leaps and bounds.

In India, everything is different. There, grandfathers and a bunch of different-sized grandchildren live in the same hut. Such a family is usually relatively isolated. Children do not crawl far, old people waddle after them, and all this happens in a limited area. Guests from the neighboring city do not come to them and do not bring the infection.

Maybe even grandfathers from grandchildren become infected with a child's infection and so maintain their immunity.

Somewhere it was already checked that if people were infected with those old harmless colds viruses, then they suffered less from covid, less often ended up in intensive care and more often survived.

They also say that in hot countries the wind is constantly walking in residential premises, so the virus is greatly diluted there, and people are slowly immunized with it.

Or is everything easier than it seems

Someone is lying. In India, scientists simply organized a courtyard round, where they checked who was missing in this or that hut this year. We compared this case with previous years and it turned out that the number of people lost twice as much as in the same reporting period in previous years. This, probably, was a covid.

In Africa, they made it even easier. They immediately checked the morgue. They took samples from 350 bodies for analysis, found 70 covid patients there, and then it turned out that only five were diagnosed during their lifetime. And you will not find the ends either.

But somewhere in the same place, whether in Rwanda, or elsewhere, the government played this case in a completely opposite direction. They rudely dispersed the population to their homes, imposed the strictest curfew, and the people almost completely stopped sick. In a developed country, they would not be allowed to do this.

In short, developing countries are not only a hotbed of exotic mutant viruses, but also a fabulous place where all sorts of amazing epidemiological phenomena occur.
