Analysis ranks the countries that handled COVID-19 best

LOL, very convincing!

when it comes to China, they simply cannot handle the truth. They need to lie, they need to hide, they need to deny and they need to fool themsleves.

Otherwise, how they would be able to make sense of "universal value"?
 
Self bragging western article with no real meaning in real life. Look at this example before the pandemic. Who rank first?

Any tom dick harry can even come up with fake ranking telling the world, China has a economy of only USD500billion in 2020 to try fool the rest of the world. But it will not rewrite the fact, democracy like US and India failed badly while China is credit with top points for handling the pandemic.


It's just as funny as the thread itself. Many may find it's entertaining though. :partay:

Here is THE RANKING that's composed with nothing but cold hard data:

 
Democracies have slightly outperformed authoritarian countries in suppressing the coronavirus, according to an analysis that found smaller populations and competent bureaucracies were the major factors in managing the global pandemic.

The COVID Performance Index compiled by the Lowy Institute ranked 98 countries’ handling of the COVID-19 outbreak, finding New Zealand performed the best while Australia sits in eighth place.

New Zealand was closely followed by Vietnam, Thailand and Cyprus, while the United States was the fifth-worst performing country.

There has been growing concern from western commentators that the failure of some democracies to suppress the virus will result in more countries losing faith in the model of liberal democratic government and turn to authoritarianism.

But the Lowy study reveals that on average, authoritarian countries had no prolonged advantage in suppressing the virus and democracies found “marginally more success than other forms of government in their handling of the pandemic”.

While democracies performed worse at the beginning of the pandemic and there were some notable exceptions including the United States and Britain, they pulled ahead of authoritarian and hybrid states as the outbreak worsened, which suggests democracies were better at learning from their mistakes in acting too slowly, according to Hervé Lemahieu, one of the authors of the study.

Many “hybrid” regimes, such as Ukraine and Bolivia, were the least prepared to handle the virus.

Overall, levels of economic development and differences in political systems between countries had less of an impact on outcomes than other indicators. Smaller populations, cohesive societies and capable institutions were much bigger factors.

Countries with populations of fewer than 10 million people consistently outperformed large nations throughout 2020, although this lead narrowed slightly towards the end of the 2020.

The study suggests American political scientist Francis Fukuyama was right last year when he said that regime type was not the determining factor in how effectively states responded to the crisis, “but whether citizens trust their leaders, and whether those leaders preside over a competent and effective state”.

Mr Lemahieu said the research disproved the claim authoritarian regimes had an advantage in handling the global pandemic.
“We’ve had this sweeping narrative take hold about the inherent superiority of societies and different political systems, and for the most part we’re saying that is bollocks,” he said.

Mr Lemahieu said smaller countries were able to “ring fence” their populations, while their larger counterparts had issues in being able to close external and internal borders.

“Also, countries with smaller populations may well have stronger social contracts between governments and citizenry and greater levels of trust in governments,” he said.

Although Australia has a population significantly larger than 10 million, Mr Lemahieu said it benefited from being an island nation while the “devolution” of responsibilities to the states effectively turned it into “seven or eight countries”.

“We have the geography and demographic distribution to allow for that devolution of responsibilities at the state level,” he said.

“States have quarantined from each other and erected borders which are almost as closed as international borders. Other countries can’t really pull that off.”

The study measured a number of key indicators including confirmed cases, deaths, cases per million people, deaths per million people and cases a proportion of tests. China was not included because all of its testing rates are not publicly available.


The most important criteria to be number one in any ranking by any Western institutions is to be an Anglo-Saxon country.

Vietnam, with population of ~ 100 millions, bordering to China, with densely populated cities and limited resources, has so far only 35 deaths, or Taiwan, with pop of 25 millions but has only 07 deaths.

New Zealand, an isolated island in a far corner of the world, with pop. 5.1 millions, has 25 deaths.

So much for the craps done by Western institutions nowadays in general. No wonder no one trusts them.
