Funny how all these diseases are resurfacing and spreading just after a pushed vaccination worldwide.
It's not sudden or unexpected, it's been predicted for quite a while now due to disruption in vax programs in Africa and the middle east due to war and groups like the Taliban. It's endemic in a lot of places where the US gets a lot of immigrants from.
Take Afghanistan, the polio campaign there has been significantly disrupted, and there are thousands of new Afghani refugees coming in.
Funny how the pandemic skipped the unvaccinated continent of Africa, but the highest vaccinated countries like South Korea experienced a record number of deaths this year. Seems like its working amazingly well.
This is actually pretty much what you'd expect. Countries like South Korea and Japan have always had a problem with communicable diseases because they have densely packed populations, many multigenerational households, and are dependant on mass transit.
It's why NCY was hit hard early one. As was London in England. Same basic problems. Lots of lower to middle income people crammed into small apartments, who ride the metro daily.
South Korea also has a culture of showing up even if you're sick which didn't help.
Africa, on the other hand, people simply died by the thousand and it wasn't properly recorded. Especially among the elderly.
Do you think that it's a coincidence that countries like South Africa, which have better reporting systems, recorded more deaths?
So then, why does Africa have issues with so many other viruses, but when the most infectious / deadly virus in the history of mankind comes, it can't spread very well?
