This is a photo I took at one of Vietnam's jam packed airports a few days ago:

Not many people will believe that a poor country like Vietnam, led by a single party in authoritarian style, can suppress Covid-19 with zero deaths. But for people who live here, being able to travel freely is the greatest proof that the approach worked.

(still I find it weird that covid-19 seems to be much weaker in South East Asia, even Laos or Cambodia aren't being hit that hard).

Not weird at all, is an autochtonous organism in Asia, therefore they had chances to being exposed in the past to similar viruses, and they have lots of young population probably also.

Has happened before with american natives dying in mass from new european diseases, for example

It also seems weaker in Africa. I am still waiting for someone to explain the reason for the situation.
