Djokovic supporters need to explain Serbia's toll

Behind the furore over the attempted entry of the Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic into Australia (Spotlight, 14 January) is the sad reality that the virus has killed about 13,000 of his nearly 7 million compatriots compared with 2,500 in Australia despite its nearly four times greater population. Perhaps supporters of Mr Djokovic could be asked to explain this difference?
