Again. Maybe climate has an "impact" but the size of the numbers makes no sense. Greece isn't exactly a cold place right now, it's massively smaller than India and yet has 30% more coronavirus cases.

India: 1.3B population and right next to China. Greece 10M population and no close land links to China.

These numbers don't pass the common sense test.

Right next China is a weak argument. There is an impossibly terrain dividing India and China called Himalayas. Other means of transport are restricted from the very beginning.

Agreed that the impact of climate is a big question mark.

In terms of Greece, it's more like Japan or China than a tropical country.
