Why is there so much disparity of COVID-19 among countries?

I see. So you were born in Iran, then came to the U.S. and lived them from the age of a teen until you practiced law for a long time, then went to Iran for more than 15 years and now are back in the U.S.?

 

Interesting points.

 

The main reason is probably different than what you are saying. Otherwise, while the numbers merely infected is certainly greatly affected by what you said, if a country suddenly has a lot of 'excess deaths', they would notice. There have been a lot of epidemics, in fact, which have started or been more prevalent in Africa than elsewhere. The Ebola virus, for instance, started in Africa and had a greater toll there.

The 'travel' argument is significant, but there are countries in the southern hemisphere which are comparatively less affected by the various despite having a lot of travelers. The main distinction appears to arise, instead, from a combination of factors, with climate/weather being a major part of the story. Studies have shown that the virus thrives and has spread the fastest in a range of temperatures (40-50 degree Fahrenheit on average) and a range of humidity that was prevalent during the (northern hemisphere) winter season mostly in countries falling within the 30-50 N' longitude on the map.

 

I think factors that should be considered are environmental ones, such as air pollution as well as cell phones and cell phone towers, particularly the new 5G networks. I'm not saying that these things are causing it, but rather weakening our bodies to make them more susceptible to the covid 19 and its effects. The mainstream media actually agrees with the point of air pollution now, but there are a lot of well financed interests that have been fighting hard to make sure people don't believe that cell phones and cell phone networks could be harmful to our health.

 

Yes to most of it, except I don't live in the US right now. I purchased what was supposed to be a vacation home in a vacation resort in Turkey last year and have been staying here the past year. The "maximum pressure" campaign basically saw the international law firm I worked with cut its business in Iran and I don't have much to do in Iran right now anyway. I wanted to work on writing a book about Iran, although curiously or not, since this pandemic, I have made less progress than I was making before.

 

Any issues in this category related to Covid 19?

 

I see. This pandemic certainly has changed a lot of things. I'm guessing this "maximum pressure" you speak of is an American thing?

 

Some of it is related, as I generally oppose the sanctions against Iran.

It is the name given by the Trump administration to its campaign of sanctions, economic warfare, and a lot more, against Iran.

 

So do I. I think Obama had the right idea. Then Trump came along and messed it all up.

 

I am alright with Obama had in mind personally, although even under Obama, you had some figures around him who sometimes pushed him in the wrong directions on Iran.

 

Certain flaws in our voting system has allowed illegal aliens to vote for scum like Hillary.

 

You're new here, I'm sure you'll get used to the way things work.

 

Well, it appears that the COVID19 virus has undergone 30+ mutations -- and some are much more deadly than others:

This may account for the far worse lethality of the virus cases in the New York City area....






Anyway, in spite of such reports, it appears that many Americans are "just dying to get back to work"... and they may get their wish....
