In countries where sanitation is an issue will the infection rate ever slow and when people from countries who have it controlled travel to those countries does it restart ?
I think I have more questions now that I watched the video than I do answers :)
- ajuc 7y agoCountries with worse sanitation also tend to have slower transportation and less population shuffling. In the times of plague the places that suffered the least were: - sparsely populated - didn't participated much in the international trade - used quarantines on the borders early https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/bubonic-plague-spares-poland?rebelltitem=3#rebelltitem3 https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/bubonic-plague-spares-pola...
- jacobolus 7y agoIn modern times there is plenty of transportation and shuffling in crowded countries with poor sanitation. Remember it only takes a tiny bit of travel to spread a virus far and wide. I would predict things will get very bad in many parts of Latin America, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia.
