My point about population density also still stands. Doesn't matter what the size of the country or population, the population can still be crammed into small areas. Eg is the population of Australia uniformly spread, or is there heavy concentrations in cities? Around 1.4m of the 5.5m population of Scotland live in just 4 cities.



There are examples around the world where small and remote areas have been heavily infected compared to the larger surrounding area.
The numbers may be relatively small, but the proportion is high.

I accept the point you are making above about testing.

But your original post in this aspect used a loose basis for putting your question.

The bit I've highlighted in red is precisely what I was addressing.
