Ah yes, the strong Confucian ethic of Australia, Uruguay, New Zealand, and Uganda
This is just ridiculous - many countries with many cultures have done well, by:
a) sticking to the science
b) acting early and oftenhttps://twitter.com/NickKristof/status/1324875370542358529 …

Maybe it's having a high % of people who adhere to their civic responsibility that's key. It's easier to blame the government rather than an irresponsible subset of the population.

But people are influenced. If you have a gov. that has been downplaying the virus from the beginning has lousy rules that are inconsistent and incomprehensible, it’s not the people at large whom are to blame. I’m speaking from the Netherlands.

To be fair, I think here in the US we’d be doing a teensy bit better if we didn’t have such a rampant culture of “look out for yourself, screw everyone else” and “don’t tread on me, only my rights matter, not yours”

Wait. This is a logical fallicy. Because other countries did well doesn't mean cultural components weren't a factor in these counties. Or the only factor. E.g., IMO cultural factors are prolly an element contributing to high mask use in S. Korea. And why US has low compliance

How did australia do it? It's as if, just as like other south east asian countries such as JPN and SK, they were able to keep the virus in check with only small waves. However, what would they have done more than europe or the US (apart from possibly stricter border control)?
