teeming cities
Bangkok, Bagdad, Lagos- fine
some places Virus wallops
spare others?
Haiti has recorded 85
Dominican Republic 7,600
body count mass burials
cities have been devastated
capricious genetics {and}
pre-existing demographics
affect the wide variations
Impact hot climates and young populations
In the throes of growing, tropical countries
throw cold water
on the epidemiological picture
It’s dangerous to draw conclusions
