The US had some of the highest rates of transmission and lowest uses of public transport when compared with Europe so I don't think that claim holds any water

  Africa has no public transport and had the lowest rates of transmission.

    > Africa has no public transport Africa is not a single country, that is a sweeping statement, and based what I saw on the last time that I was in a particular city in a particular country in Africa, that statement is rubbish. They were also taking many anti-COVID-transmission measures at the time. What I suspect is that African countries were less naïve about COVID - they had no expectations of being exceptional, of escaping unscathed, and had been impacted by other serious disease outbreaks in living memory, so they had more expectation that it was a real problem, but also one that could be mitigated.
