This number is simply not believable.

Was this number broken down to separate the 2 strains? what bout the racial differences in getting this illness - folks are saying Asians are way more susceptible than Caucasian or African heredity people.

What about by country - a 1% fatality rate in America means a much higher fatality rate in dirty shit holes. That is always the case.

So no. I do not believe.

I have read the theory about the smoking.

Could the racial difference folks talk about actually be due to the different cleanliness standards across the globe?

This is my working thesis. Some cultures wash their hands and are overall more fastidious than others.
