Coronavirus rampant in populists regimes ?

Tweet

Its very noticeable that the worst coronavirus outbreaks have been in countries with populists or oppressive right wing leaders in denial. USA and Trump top the list with 120,004 deaths and 2.2 million cases. Brasil and Jair Bolsonaro are second with 48,257 deaths and one million plus cases. Boris and the U.K third with 42,224 and 301,000 positives and Italy and their man Giuseppe Conte in 4th with 34,324 deaths and 238,000 cases. These are not conventional leaders. Moving up the table are India, Russia and quite a few Latin American countries,a real mixed bag of leaders there. 45% of all new cases are in Latin America as the Southern Hemisphere gets hit hard in their winter. These leaders are in denial over the illness and how dangerous it is and opening up their lock-downs way too early.. Brasil are still 4 weeks off the peak. They could hit 100,000 deaths from their 205 million population. Its no surprise Iran and some Muslim countries having a second wave post Ramadan as they seemed to have caused a distinct lack of social distancing in those communities.
