[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vietnam, with 97 million people, responded in January, never had a national lockdown, 300 cases, nobody died.

Vietnam.

We suck.[/quote]

What did they get so right? [/quote]

When China said the virus was no big deal, Vietnam knew they were lying, closed the border immediately and quarantined returning citizens.[/quote]

That seems to be a commonality in Asian countries. Didn’t South Korea and Japan do the same things? They’re more used to disease outbreaks coming from China and they knew how to respond right away. [/quote]
Yes, also Taiwan and Singapore.  They were all ready, but the rest of the world was not.[/quote]

Taiwan for sure.  Taiwan is not part of the WHO (due to China's opposition, you know, the whole "One China" thing) so they know they are on their own with regard to global health crises.  I think countries in the WHO got a little complacent.  There is also zero trust of China in Taiwan, as you might imagine, so when they got word of some kind of virus there, they started up their response right away.  They started checking flights from China in the beginning of January.[/quote]
