Russia has the largest border with China, but the death rate here is incomparable with yours and I really think that it's abut a personal hygiene. The things I named above are a 100% MUST for everybody in my country and not because of the virus - we always wash ourselves. Perhaps the same thing has happened with the plague epidemic and epidemic of Spanish flu. Russia was affected of course but much less than other European countries (I'd say much much less).
