I don't know if any of these would count as being significantly sized, but Japan, Australia, and South Korea handled it a lot better than the US [1] when it comes to deaths per 100k. Interestingly, Australia and South Korea did have more cases per 100k than the US[2].

- rounce 2y agoAn interesting thing to look at is the differences between European countries differing responses and how that worked out for them given many are connected via land borders.
