There is a more-than-decent shot that everybody ends up pursuing the Swedish option, and the only question is whether it was worth locking down until spring/summer to give health facilities and scientists time, and the virus a chance to die in warmer weather.

My best guess is that it will be nearly as contagious, but viral loads will be lower and therefore lower fatalities.

Costa Rica, Panama, Chile, Uruguay all have low mortality rates. Places Like Argentina, Ecuador & Brazil are a different story.

I have no idea how things are going on Argentina. However, Brazil (I live here) has a mess and it doesn't have anything to do with the chinese virus. This will be long, so yeah, get ready for it. Testing has been a mess. Testing by the government takes up to 7 days... 1/X

Do you think it could be related to the frequency of international business flights and the probablity of interacting with the infected? No?

There's a bunch of variables. Here in NY, for example, we have unusually high population density & extraordinarily high use of mass transit for long, crowded rides.

And Ecuador isn’t hot. It’s mild to cold and dry.

I confess I'm not that familiar with Ecuadorian weather, but a Google search suggests that March-April temps tend to be in the 60s.

Seems to indicate drier heat is better for killing it off, which makes sense. (Fits with CA = fine, New Orleans = bad, Fla = mediumy)
