I haven't got to grips with this, whether it is a higher percentage of those communities catching it, or a higher percentage that catch it need hospital treatment and end up in intensive care, or a higher percentage of those in intensive care actually die?
The first should not be too difficult to possibly explain through lifestyles, the next two are not so easy. But I haven't seen it explained as to which it is?
