Read something yesterday about our high UV radiation levels being one of the major reasons it hasn't been as severe here. Obviously UV radiation kills or damages the virus if it is exposed.
We have the highest levels of UV radiation in the world, and the southern hemisphere has higher levels of UV radiation as a whole, due to our location making us closer to the sun than they are in the north. Partly explains why the northern hemisphere has been hit much harder. Population density is also one of the major contributers like you said.
