Seems to be a combination. South American countries, enjoying summer, seem to be avoiding big numbers, with Chile at 5,116 cases. Brasil, with some hugely congested cities with lower class slum areas, leads at almost 14k cases, but that is pretty low, and if you've ever been to SP or RDJ you know how congested it is. As they go into their cooler months it will be interesting to see what happens.

Africa showing something similar. The more advanced nations with better infrastructure, and thus more movement of people, are showing the most cases. South Africa (RSA), Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, hit hardest but the poorer nations not so bad. Some of that is likely lower reporting ability, but a country with primarily remote villages is self-isolating by its very structure.

Pakistan at 4k and India at 5k are the ones I think bear watching.
