Again with those two possibly seasonal, they were just coming into the dry/hot season when this hit.

Ah, sorry, I speed read and missed your actual point! My apologies. Although I think the point re air pollution still stands, clearly it's not the only factor but I suspect it will be significant.
I can only think it's a combination of a number of factors, because every theory seems to be possible to disprove if you look around enough. Hun Sen is writing a book on how well he's handled the whole ordeal if you're interested* *He's a mentalist but I wouldn't have dared wrote that when I lived there! Again with those two possibly seasonal, they were just coming into the dry/hot season when this hit.
North Vietnam would have been cold-ish and wet January/February. In fact I was there in January and it pissed down!

Yes, clearly, these things are always complex systems, trying to bring it down to one simple cause, while appealing to the media etc, never provides the whole explanation.

Tail end of the rainy season granted, but it takes 6-8 weeks to really get to grips, and possibly didnt have chance there.

New Zealand and Oz are just about to enter winter as well, so that will be interesting to see what happens

I reckon luck likely has a big part in it.
And genetics, perhaps. Thailand has also had it relatively easy (although they do have quite a strict lock-in). The Thai's, Laotians, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Malays, and Burmese are probably quite close genetically and none have been hit hard.
That, and these countries are all feckin' hot. Or at least they have been over the last few months.

It’s interesting that the rise in spain coincided with the worst weather in years. Rained everyday for 2 months and got as low as 12-15 down here

Good news for all concerned! So what happens now is it back to work next week or are you furloughed etc

I have been working from home all the way through anyway, so nothing changed or changes for me really. At least I can now return to doing my parents shopping without putting them at risk.
At least I know i don't currently have it, would be nice to know if I have had it at some point in the past though - in hindsight, if I got to the point where a test was required, it might have made sense to give me the anti body test at the same time to start to build up a picture of who has had it..

I would guess its actually a bit of bad news IF your symptoms were manageable and a quick recovery meant you were immune (temporary at least). I think everyone would love the antibodi just to ease the mind slightly even though it wouldn't change my behaviour too much
