      These are incredibly, astonishingly low numbers, even if you assume a lot of undercounting.https://twitter.com/WHOAFRO/status/1263033806132568065 …

      Note that there's a lot of incoherence in the explanations we hear for Africa. E.g., "how dare you assume that small, poor countries can't be better at wide-scale public health measures than Europe, oh and also they are all undercounting cases by many orders of magnitude."

          Another favorite explanation I hear is "poor countries have handled coronavirus better because they have recent experience of epidemic disease", which is like arguing that someone is good at crime prevention because they get mugged a lot

          Hoping that future journalism schools will offer topics like "paying more attention when a global pandemic mostly skips the two most populous continents"

          only issue i have is the rich countries are also struggling to count cases. georgia and florida outright juking the stats, ontario earnestly failing to track excess deaths or count known ones, whether folks test the dead or not i’m less sure they can’t hide the bodies

          I agree with you, but I think the failure to count everything is quite consistent behavior, and also no surprise to epidemiologists. The failure of large body counts to materialize in the most populous places several months into the pandemic is the really strong negative evidence

          Most of the "rest of the world" responded with early strict lockdowns, border closures etc. All while the numbers were still comparatively low due to poorer connectivity. These were not "public health measures", and were rather easier to enforce than in the Western democracies

          This was manifestly not the case in Japan
