If you look at entire known Human history, pandemics, epidemics, wars, famines, droughts and troubled economic times feature throughout and have occurred in all parts of the World. Besides economic strife and war, things are not always in the hands of Human (e.g. natural disasters). What Countries around the World need to do going forward is to have a basic level of economic self-reliance. Things like face mask, clothing, basic medical equipment, basic things like plastic cutlery, etc. should be made in all countries of the World and import of such items should be strictly forbidden. Only then can each Country have semblance of hope when disaster such as COVID-19 strikes. I don't know, maybe I am rambling but I feel all countries from Afghanistan to United States to South Sudan to Zimbabwe need to enabled and forced to produce necessities of life and such basic items instead of relying on China, Germany, India, Vietnam and Bangladesh.
