Three countries we hear are doing better than others with #coronavirus are Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. What do they have in common? Genes is one thing.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Germanic_peoples …

I worry that political correctness prevents us from being more aggressive in finding genetic markers. When the under-60 and healthy people die, you have to suspect genes in that situation.

Experts, correct me if wrong, but it seems to me that genetic testing is the easiest thing we could scale up, using existing samples from 23andMe-type companies to see who has high risk (assuming we find the genes responsible).

Of all the "back to work" strategies under consideration, identifying and protecting the genetically vulnerable might be the quickest and safest path to an "acceptable" death count. I believe a number of people are pursuing this path but we don't hear as much about it.

Religion has a lot to do with it too. There is a Jewish sect that won't self quarantine and they are jacking us up in New Jersey. Brutal!

Population density is a difficult one because you can have a big country with lots of dense city living e.g. the USA. Or a country with more towns and low density cities e.g. Berlin and Germany.

Copenhagen has a noticeably lower urban density compared to rest of Europe. They also had very stringent and early lockdown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_density#/media/File:Revised_petrol_use_urban_density.jpg …

New York was using Hydroxychloroquine a lot, but perhaps too late in the progression of the disease. Talk to front line workers there.
