      Why is nobody discussing truly staggering differences in death rates between Eastern and Western Europe? In the @FT graphs none of EE countries is even included. The gap is just striking. (Worldometer, 22 April).pic.twitter.com/DuJ1GYi10K

          Czechia and Slovakia are fully integrated into the German auto industry’s supply chain. I feel pretty confident the same is true of Poland given they’ve been EU assemblers for Dell for over a decade. E Europe is well integrated with W Europe.

          Also, Central Europe is a thing. Some hilariously antiquated and binary cold war era mentalities exposed in this thread.

          Less people vacationing globally for spring break, timely government response, citizens mobilised in kind and worked collectively, immediate priority to isolate and look after elderly and high risk, social distancing adhered to and masks, masks, masks.

          Also: timing. Western Europe seems to have been seeded from East Asia, whereas Eastern Europe wave came from Western Europe. Romania, with its large italian emigrant cohort, is doing worse than Bulgaria Hopefully, with earlier social distancing that means EE will avoid the worst.
