The biggest question to me is: do you really believe there are no cases in Indonesia? Does that make sense?

Because if there are in fact dozens of people infected in Indonesia, and we don't know about it, containment is over. Based on the apparent transmissibility and incubation period, I don't see how to come back from that.

it is weird. but anecdotally it seems like tropical climes less hard hit. India?

low numbers could just be measuring detection ability instead of actual rates.

There is an aspect with these viruses that is temperature sensitive that makes them favor colder regions.
