Successful Countries with Natural Infusions

Updated: Lima, Peru - June 20, 2020 - 08:00

1) Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay

These are three of the countries in which the consumption of mate is very common.

The webpage (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/) shows the low cases of these countries in the region.

During my trip to Argentina and Uruguay in 2019, I noticed that almost everyone drinks mate very frequently.

In addition, I called a friend of MIT (Bruno) from Paraguay: ‘There are low cases and most of them were imported from other countries.”

Paraguayans drink a cold version of mate: Terere. It seems that the effect of the herb is strong.

2) Cities of the southern Brazil

I looked for a big country to isolate effects and that only in some cities they drink beverages such as mate. After a lot of time of analysis, I found that Brazil is a case that worth to study. The finding was VERY, VERY interesting.
Mate is consumed in specific regions of Brazil (South). Thanks for the help (Vinicius and Joaquim)

After this step, I sorted the number of cases (Normalized it by population)

CONCLUSION: As I was expecting, the last places of cases (normalized by population) are mainly the states that drink mate!!!
