Thare is likely to be far higher death tolls from coastal and remote spots due to the incredibly large number of nursing and retirement homes traditionally situated in picturesque locations. The rub of these places is that they're often without large hospitals close by as end of life care is fairly palliative.
I did hear a bit of "the South will bring it up" talk at the start, but it's shown that international business or work travellers and families with excess money to be able to travel are fairly evenly distributed these days. Obviously the cities are hardest hit but again the ratio seems even between the likes of Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London.
sadly it was here before we knew, something that seems to have gotten America in a froth but in reality it could have cropped up in any of dozens of countries and gone un noticed for an awful lot longer.
Fingers crossed for a better day for all concerned today.
