What is the secret behind the Mekong region’s low Covid-19 cases?
Despite early fears of a mass outbreak, Thailand and the Greater Mekong sub-region has remained extremely resilient to the virus, recording less than 100 deaths. Is it genetics, cultural norms, the climate, or some unknown quantity yet to be discovered?
Whatever it is, it’s kept the region relatively immune from the human suffering seen elsewhere. although the global scale of Covid-19 has led to a complete shutdown in cross-border tourism like eveywhere else.
