I think this is putting too many expectations on humans. We have never had any control over the path of respiratory viruses. Many of us believe we do now but we don't. Maybe we will in the future. Asian countries have more influence over its path because they've had to learn.

We got that because it never reached breakout proportion, only 8,098 cases. For that you should be looking at China for covid19 because there were that many cases in Wuhan alone in the first few weeks. We've never been able to put a respiratory back in the bag once it's out.

Yes the politics of what is required to fully contain are the downfall for non authoritarian countries. Is the only government suitable for containing a novel/contagious virus an authoritarian government or do representative democracies still have hope?

There are no cases in Nova Scotia for more than two weeks. New Zealand is also ok. Hong Kong did well despite the leadership because of the organised democratic protest movement.

Good examples but both New Zealand and Sweden (I realize you didn't mention Sweden) are outliers which would be hard to spread their practices to places as diverse and massive as places like India, the United States and Brazil. India has had an interesting strategy.
