You could add to the list a very different demography than western countries or china. The % of the population over 60 is half what it is in the US. Age being by far the primary driver for the severity of the disease, it is not unereasonable to expect that Brazil will be hit less hard than western countries.

US people think "west" is composed of North America and half of Europe.

Lol. The notion of a "western workd" was dumb enough before I knew that, now it's just hilarious. Thanks for the link.
