Indeed.There are countries that reacted better than others, but that didn't make the problem go away: it was still a major disruption to the economy and a major health problem causing some people to die. The magnitude of those problems is affected by competence (and luck), but it's not one of those things where if you play by the book you're just going to be fine.
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoYeah you are gonna be fine, not toally unaffected by largely just fine. Look at Czech Republic, Vietnam, Korea, Japan. There, hardly anyone died at all.
- chimprich 6y agoI'm in no way disagreeing that countries like Vietnam have done a good job in keeping on top of the problem, but talking about any country's response in the past tense seems premature. Pretty much any assessment needs to have a "so far" appended.
