Infection rate requires testing ... and I'm not at all convinced that there's enough testing going on, in any color of community, to say that they've caught everyone who has the disease. Deaths get noticed, whereas someone with mild symptoms or no symptoms, may not get tested/reported. Is the testing situation better or worse in any given community? That's something I can't even hazard a guess at.

They were doing widespread testing in parts of Africa at a time when you could not get tests in the U.S. even if you wanted to and even if you were in an at risk population. We still aren't doing COVID-19 screening at the airport the way Liberia was doing it at the start of the pandemic.
