2% only in developed healthcare system. For contrast Iran's number is few times higher

No one knows anything about the real situation and thus the real numbers in Iran. They are highly speculative.

It would be interesting to know what is the percentage of people that have a strong reaction vs. people that experience it just like a cold, which I read is pretty common. Maybe there is even asymptomatic people out there.

FWIW I hear that Iran has a pretty capable and modern healthcare system.

I think the ratio in Iran is due to scads of undiagnosed people, not because getting COV is worse there than anywhere else.
