Covid-19 deaths increase away from the source.
This chart plots C-19 deaths as a % of the > 65 population (at risk group).
Lockdown stringency does not consistently increase away from the source and therefore does not explain this trend.

The reasons for this increase is not certain. Could it be due to cross-immunity against similar virusses?

When listing C-19 deaths as a % of > 65 population, the performance of Asia, Europe and South America separate.
Gauging the effectiveness of lockdown by comparing a high lockdown Asian- to a low lockdown South American country is not appropriate.
