China claims the virus slowed or has been "contained" in their land. But many people are skeptical.
However, according to the day by day chart, the report of China appears to be correct.
Countries around China have barely a few hundreds and few thousands of reported cases. There are not report of people dying in great quantities in those countries.
Same scenario is observed with third world countries in Asia, Africa y South America.
On the other hand, the chart shows tens of thousands of infections in European countries and the US.
The reasons for the huge difference in amount of infections and deaths because the Corona virus can be many. I think it is important to start studies about the points from below in order to prepare better for future pandemics.
1)- Could be lack of report of cases in third world countries. Something very rare in the current era where technology has reached them and communication means are same like US and Europe.
2)- Could be "race",
3)- Could be "diet". People in poor countries eat chicken, meat and vegetables from farm, while advanced countries do it from animals in cages and pools. Their water comes from wells and can't have the luxury of drinking sodas very often.
4)- Could be "poor health". It is not how long you live but "how" you live until you die. Many people live long time but thanks to medicines, surgeries and medical treatment. Today the term "longevity" is not synonymous of "good health". A research of medicine use (quantity, quality and purpose) in each country might provide a sure answer for this probability.
5)- Unknown probabilities.
