This might also be associated with diet since cabbage (Romania) and fermented milk (Bulgaria and Greece) are common foods. The latter food is a known ACE natural inhibitor,” writes Clinical and Translational Allergy journal in an article entitled “Is diet partly responsible for differences in Covid-19 death rates between and within countries?

“Nutrition may therefore play a role in the immune defense against Covid-19 and may explain some of the differences seen in Covid-19 across Europe,” the article reads.
