I'm a bit puzzled by the analysis:
"Note that Australia and New Zealand have high MADs. This can be attributed to the fact that these two countries had a low number of active COVID19 cases due to the highly restrictive government measures.".
From the table, Australia has 9.59, which is comparable to Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg and Switzerland, but also Nicaragua, Thailand, Tajikistan, Haiti.
Why is Australia a special case here, why does the same reasoning not apply to China (which has/had, to say the least, "highly restrictive government measures"), and why is it not weird that all these countries, regardless of their autoritarian status, have a "high MAD"?
