Trying to Solve a Covid Mystery: Africa's Low Death Rates (NYT)

Sunnier climates saw less severe cases. Also, obesity and overweightness is not as big of an issue on some African countries.

I think the studies of the data are going to be very revealing as time goes on. For the US, we obviously got hammered for a long time, but then Omicron washed through and probably eased it some because it gave more people some natural ability to fight the disease. The data will likely showed we were right with restrictions for a while, then eased them too quickly with Delta, and then were correct not to re-implement them with Omicron.
