    How many of these have actually done any testing?
    What about North Korea, I'd be surprised even with isolation that it doesn't have suome "unexplained" deaths.

    I was sure N. Korea had announced a case? maybe it was just a suspected one

    Saint Kitts and Nevis, Mali, and Guinea-Bissau reporting their first cases, thats all 'countries' in the Americas / Caribbean crossed off the list, and with British Virgin Islands crossed off aswell, thats one less overseas territory virus free

    You forgot Sealand..


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,436 ✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    You forgot Sealand..

    I haven't included overseas territories, disputed regions, or states with limited or no recognition ...

    will probably add them next week, as the remaining countries dwindle

    (don't know about Western Sahara, probably could include it with Morocco)

    Well since we know so much about their supposed famines, death camps, underground tunnels, nuclear programs, old women selling their kidneys, etc., shouldn't we also have our clued in spies monitoring their covid deaths?


    Likewise with Venezuela. We seem to know when they are starving and have to eat flamingos but now we haven't a clue about their coronavirus deaths.

    Yes, how dare we doubt North Korea and Venezuela.

    Botswana reporting its first cases yesterday, and Sierra Leone with its first case today. British overseas territory of Anguilla in the Caribbean added to the list in the last few days as well

    Tuvalu was formerly the "Ellis" part of the Gilbert and Ellis Islands, Kiribati (pronounced "Kiribas") was Gilbert

    Vanuatu was the New Hebrides

    All brought to you courtesy of philately as I learned about these islands collecting their stamps back in the 1970s

    *less than thirty countries not testing enough yet

    Russia had a surge of pneumonia cases in January ... this thing is everywhere

  • Registered Users Posts: 8,436 ✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    First two cases in the Caribbean Netherlands, that's all countries and overseas territories in the Americas affected, apart from Saint Pierre and Miquelon, French islands south of Newfoundland, Canada, and the Falkland Islands off Argentina...

    How many Covid-XIX free countries now?

  • Registered Users Posts: 8,436 ✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    19 countries with no confirmed cases, with a big asterisk over Yemen and North Korea

    They've added a 'countries unaffected' section to this wiki page, lists other territories as well

    From that link below you can scroll in a and look at individual countries or provinces of China.
    One thing I struggle to understand is the spread of it, so fast around the world, all from one area initially (allegedly!!) !!
    I can't believe that, as an example the China province Jiangsu, which is just right of Wuhan has..........0/zero/nada/zilch deaths !!!! or Anhui (right next to Hubei) which has 6 deaths !

    South Sudan has fallen... Cases reported in the Western Saharan provinces of Morocco also. That leaves Lesotho as the only unaffected country on Africa.

    all countries and overseas territories in the Americas affected, apart from Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and the Falkland Islands.
    These two overseas territories are also reporting cases now


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,436 ✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    St. Vincent and the Grenadines did have one case, which had recovered on March 27th, leaving it the only country where all cases had recovered from the infection. They reported a second case a few days ago, and are now at 6 active cases ..


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,436 ✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    Four cases in Sao Tome and Principe.

    Papua New Guinea reporting a second case more than two weeks after its first. Mostly pacific island nations holding out now


  • Registered Users Posts: 86,256 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I haven't even heard of some of these countries

    I think North Korea had cases

    I would look at the official Chinese figures with some scepticism.
