I think you are missing the point. Those countries listed are among the worst and are dealing with the impact the worst. You don't think it could be because they have shitty healthcare?
When it's all over, I bet our country and our current health care system will be among the best at dealing with this thing.
that's definitely not it.
South Korea has great public healthcare & has handled an awful situation well. they've largely managed to contain what is otherwise an uncontainable virus.
To a large extent as well, I think you only hear about the countries testing for it and not affirmatively censoring news.
You're drawing bad conclusions based on a lack of information.
The "Spanish Influenza" was only called that because Neutral Spain didn't have the same wartime censorship in place that Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the US did. it hit everyone equally as bad.
I would not be surprised if that turns out to be the case with Covid-19
