South Korea was hit with this virus at about the same time. In some ways they're more vulnerable than we are: higher percentage of older people, higher population density. They've been FAR BETTER at controlling this thing than the USA. The key difference? Leadership: they don't have a mental-case at the helm of their government. Trust: their populace heeded warnings and acted accordingly. I expect that when this is all over, we'll see that even some countries that have been referred to disparagingly as "banana republics" will outperform the USA in handling of the crisis.
