I wondered about that question too. Is it possible that 6 decades of vaccinations and other health "infrastructure" in the USA generally prevents random incursions of disease? I know viruses are different from bacterial infections. An analogy may be the condition of two neighbor's lawns. One has had no or minimal "weed" treatment while the other has had regular consistent weed treatment. The latter lawn is thicker healthier and there are less places for weeds, etc to take hold. Does that analogy apply to the US health infrastructure?

Is somebody following the trend of the number of deaths in Mexico. It seems that during the last days this number is (at least) folding each day. Yesterday late, deaths totalized 82 and in this moment (less than 16 hours after) there are 143. ¿How many can we expect for tomorrow? (what an horrible question).

In Mexico people is asking why are patientes dying in Mexico and not in USA. Are because of differences in their Nutritional state? Maybe ther are other reasons.
