    Two possibilities.

    1. Less travel by people because they are poorer.

    2. A far more subtle approach is different ethnicities of the world may have different resistance levels to a given virus.

    Mongoloids (Chinese) and Caucasoids(Europeans/white) may only have a low resistance to this virus. However, Negroids(Africans) may have a higher resistance level. This may be because of different genetic make-up/genes. We just don't know.
