Interesting to see that India isn't that badly affected yet. Maybe the virus struggles in hot humid conditions.
I'm trying to look at all the countries currently affected, to get an idea of the current climate etc what sort of temperatures and so on. Alot seem to be cooler temperatures. Nigeria is interesting, because it would be pretty hot there I assume..

I think it's far more a function of the efficacy of their health care system, combined with how much the population travels overseas.

Meanwhile there's been a dramatic escalation in Syria between a NATO member Turkey and Russia and it's regime ally....

Is it just me, or does that tracking map looks a bit like the night view of the earth from space....

Thus, where there is a high population density, some light, but Africa is mostly dark...

Don't get me wrong, in this case it is a good thing!

What is Corona's kryptonite ?

Cold ?
According to a doctor on CNN, most of the Coronavirus based viruses do not take well to heat and hotter climates. That is why they also think its taking longer to have a bigger impact in Africa and South America... (more info prob needed to make this a fact tho)

Yeah, I think the heat is preventing it from spreading to the countries who are in summer. There are a handful of cases in Australia though - no deaths though.
