The Unusual Distribution of COVID-19

The Unusual Distribution of COVID-19

I have been carefully monitoring the worldwide Coronavirus statistics and a distinct pattern has begun to emerge.

There is mounting Numerical Evidence in Western Europe and the United States that the spread of the Coronavirus is being Deliberately and Maliciously Assisted.

The European Union, the United States, and the British Commonwealth, are suffering a disproportionate share of the outbreak.  The Total number of Cases and Case Fatality Rates are cumulatively higher in the “Caucasian World” than they are anywhere else.  The numbers don’t lie.

Cases Deaths Recovered Closed Active CFR%*
World                1,537,174                      89,954                   340,390                   430,344                1,106,830 21%
Caucasian World                1,192,015                      77,097                   202,571                   264,127                   840,374 29%
Rest of World                   345,159                      12,857                   137,819                   166,217                   266,456 8%

*The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is calculated by dividing the number of Deaths by the number of Closed Cases.  Closed Cases are those where the patient has either Recovered or Died.

Bellwether Countries such as India, Indonesia, and Nigeria, are not (yet) suffering any significant spread, even though they are among the most populous on Earth, and even though the virus has been confirmed to be lurking within their borders for basically the same amount of time.

 

Country Cases Deaths Recovered Closed Active CFR%
India                        6,237                            186                            569                           755                        5,482 25%
Indonesia                        3,293                            280                            252                           532                        2,761 53%
Nigeria                            276                                6                              44                              50                            226 12%

Nigeria, for example, is particularly interesting.  Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa, around 206 million, and we know that the living conditions there are not exactly exemplary.  If there ever was a country that was ripe for a plague it would be Nigeria, but the virus has been there for 41 days and there are still only 276 known cases.

Compare that with the United Kingdom.  The virus has been in the United Kingdom for 41 days, but there are 60,733 known cases, 7,097 dead, and a CFR of 98%.

Does this mean that a “third world” country like Nigeria is better at controlling a Pandemic than a “first world power” like the United Kingdom?

Interesting.  Very interesting.
