People are writing stories about why Brazil is facing a rapid rise in coronavirus cases, but I want to read the stories about why Egypt, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nigeria and Pakistan are not. And they really aren't, and it is beyond time for people to get curious about why not.

Again, it's really hurting us to have most of the American media be highly neurotic residents of the cities hit hardest by this disease

Standard responses I get to this line of inquiry are "just you wait, it will get worse", "we're not seeing the real data", and "show me the peer-reviewed studies that back this up". But we can't all go McClellan on this topic, and refuse to act on partial information in a crisis

Who are these Republicans arguing against strict lockdowns based on sophisticated, data-driven comparative analyses of C-19 in less developed countries?

How does the fact that the virus never took off in certain countries elsewhere in the world add up to evidence that it’s safe to reopen in the USA, where there are over a million known cases?
-
The US is a large country and it's possible that large parts of it can reopen safely. We won't know until we start to understand why the disease hits so hard in places like the New York metro area, while other places get a more tractable outbreak.

American deaths look flat because CA+WA are over, NYC is falling, but others are rising, especially those still working. It's many overlapping networks.

This is true in any large country. But it just raises more questions than it answers. There was community spread for a while in California and Florida, and these didn't turn into the same disaster as New York. Why not?

Restrictions are a dial not a switch. A full lockdown was (probably) necessary to avoid a Wuhan/Lombardy calamity. Once you take that off the table, it becomes a question of how can you operate as close as safely possible to normal, but not closer

Where’s the evidence? I see is a whole lot of evidence that the lockdown worked anywhere it was implemented soon enough. In Texas COVID-19 deaths were increasing geometrically before the big cities mayors did stay at home orders and trend reversed. Gov. overrides, deaths goes up
