A masterful post explains why coronavirus in China and America may differ

In San Francisco in the 1970s and 1980s, it was routine to see men from China spit in the streets, blow their noses in their fingers and then wipe their hands on anything nearby, and generally violate American hygienic norms. Outside of the tourist zones, Chinatown's restaurants and grocery stores also suggested resistance to American hygiene.
The Chinese who came to America to escape communism were amazing people and model immigrants. They worked hard and were so family-focused and education-oriented that, usually within one generation, they made the leap from Chinatown squalor to lovely suburbs. However, unlike the Japanese, the Chinese did not bring with them a culture of cleanliness.
When it comes to epidemic diseases, these cultural norms matter -- and political systems may matter even more.
One of the things noted here last week is that coronavirus, unlikely ordinary respiratory viruses, may also be transmitted through fecal matter (emphasis added):
Speaking of filthy, one of the problems with coronavirus is that, even though it's an upper respiratory disease, it's also spread by fecal matter. It will be a disaster in places that don't have good fecal matter control: China (primitive toilets and no culture of hand-washing); India (which is working hard to bring toilets to people, but it's slow going); Africa (a world drowning in fecal matter); and San Francisco (also drowning in fecal matter).
Comment:
It appears that not only San Francisco is drowning in fecal matter.... Blue plantation sanctuary cities are following in the same pattern...
Everyone must appreciate the noxious odors of feces and piss in the Subways of NYC, or when walking by the garbage heaps from the high rise apartments in the five boroughs
Marxist Socialist Communism tends to bring out the worst features in any culture. Commies focus on a few metrics related to state control. Cleanliness & hygiene tend not to be high on their list. But eliminating “enemies of the state” is right up there. You have the freedom to defecate and urinate wherever you like, Just don’t cross the Party line..
Strangely though you find the same in the Middle East, Sub Sahara Africa, Asia Minor, Central America and parts of South America.
Please note how quickly Iran has been infected by the Chinese COVD-19 virus.
