The World’s Best and Worst countries at dealing with Covid-19.
Things do not happen by chance.
Some countries were prepared, reacted quickly and were effective at dealing with the pandemic. Others were appalling.
The Best Countries
| Country | Total number who contracted the disease | Number of deaths |
| Taiwan | 675 | 7 |
| New Zealand | 2059 | 25 |
| Iceland | 5392 | 26 |
| Singapore | 58218 | 29 |
| Vietnam | 1347 | 35 |
A set of countries that, before this all took off, you would not necessarily imagine doing that well. But they were prepared. They shut their borders, tracked and traced and got completely on top of it.
The Worst Countries
| Country | Total number who contracted the disease | Number of deaths |
| USA | 19,800,000 | 343,000 |
| Brazil | 7,620,000 | 195,000 |
| India | 10,300,000 | 149,000 |
| Mexico | 1,140,000 | 125,000 |
| UK | 2,430,000 | 73,000 |
It looks like a list of countries run by populist narcissists! This bunch were unprepared, complacent, did not prepare, dithered, denied and were utterly ineffective.
How does it feel to be in the top five most incompetent and useless? Nearly a million unnecessary deaths between the five of them!
