Hello to Sao Tome and Principe

Pipped me to the post, I was just coming to write that.

Say hello to Yemen

That was to be expected, it was the largest country by population size that was yet to report a case.

Surprised to discover that there's more living there than in North Korea.

Though how do we know?

Samoa recently did a number of tests, all have come back negative, so is still Covid19 free. And closed.

First case on Saba ( part of the Dutch Caribbean ). The previous two were on St Eustastius ( Statia ). Still none on Bonaire

Worth noting that Greenland is reporting that all 11 of its confirmed cases have currently recovered, meaning that in theory the country is Covid-19-free again.

Bonaire gone, making all North American territories infected.

Not Nunavut yet.

A companion piece to this thread. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2020/04/1.../?ncid=webmail

According to al-Jazeera yesterday, there are 13 states that have reported no Covid-19 case. A couple of them I'd take with a pinch of salt... Sao Tomé & Principe are on that list, but they are also on a list that says they've had four cases.

Comoros
Kiribati
Lesotho
Marshall Islands
Micronesia
Nauru
North Korea*
Palau
Samoa
Solomon Islands
Tajikistan
Tonga
Turkmenistan*
Tuvalu
Vanuatu

If we take the three countries with question marks against them out of the equation, we're left only with island nations, or in the case of Lesotho, a landlocked country surrounded entirely by one country.

And in the interest of this thread's purpose:

Kiribati (Sean of the Shed)
Lesotho (G-Man)
Marshall Islands (Diablo Rouge)
Micronesia (Crystal Staples)
Nauru (lambert)
North Korea* (longears)
Samoa (Wouter D)
Tonga (Antepil)
Tuvalu (Stopard)
Vanuatu (hobbes)

I've won Africa. Yay?

They missed out the Cook Islands, still free.

You missed my Kiribati prediction, unless you have me on ignore poster in which case you were never aware of it and aren't about to update it.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Is it possible Covid news just isn't getting out of Tonga and Vanuatu? Haven't they just been battered by a typhoon?

Pretty much every country in Oceania has sealed itself off, so might be an effective draw if/when the Asiatic nations go.

Oh, sorry. And it's on my piece of paper...

Mauritania and Burundi now also reporting zero active cases, although both reported one death

Thank-you! I have to admit, though, when I made my pick I didn't expect us to still be in the game after this long.
