You’re probably right, unless it gets hold in


India or Brazil or Nigeria. Not that those should be comparable counties, but they are highly populated. Comparing us individual countries in Europe ignores the population difference.

It seems that most countries outside of Asia were woefully unprepared to deal with this, although I continue to be shocked and horrified at the ineptitude of our response. But it’s not like you can point to Italy or Spain or even France or the UK (at least so far) and say “if only we had responded like them or had their health infrastructure”.

When we get through this, hopefully we get FAR more serious about being prepared for the inevitable next outbreak.
