[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2241774"] I find it interesting that when people compare the spread rates from nation to nation, it's always either about the masks (pertinent here), or the level of isolation/lockdown. Both valid factors, of course, but no one ever seems to talk about the pre-existing health of the nations before day zero. For example it's been said that c.50% of Italians have hypertension, which is already thought to be a risk factor. The US seems to be on the same tragetory as Italy, so that would certainly lend at least some credence to the idea that metabolic syndrome is playing a big role. My point being that perhaps it isn't [U]all[/U] just about the masks or lockdowns preventing or slowing the spread of the virus in xyz country. Perhaps the metabolic health of the nations in question also affects the ease by which people are infected and become contagious to others? [/QUOTE]
