      I've been wondering about this too! Curious if anyone has yet come up with a decent argument. Population density popped into my head but who knows if that makes sense.https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1322536115438575618 …

      Donald Trump's performance on Covid has been terrible, and America has suffered deeply. It is now also clear, though, that Europe is not doing significantly better. Is this because: 1) European political leadership is just as bad? 2) Leadership doesn't matter that much? 3) ?

          Also European political leadership loosened restrictions as case counts were moderating and seeded new growth. That paper just came out lining England’s new growth directly to policy encouraging eating in restaurants, for instance

          The opening up of bars and discos seems to be the real problem.

          50% of those countries are dictatorships.

          Have these people actually looked into what these countries do? Like, if Trump tried to do any of the things the South Korean government does he would be impeached by morning. Imagine Trump using the national guard to enforce a quarantine of people coming from China.

          Travel bans and/or centralized quarantines have been staples of their response

          All of which have had extremely differnet reactions with widely variet results. Similar Asian neighbors have had even wider results. Most of which, though, are still below major EU/US levels. It may simply be the case that there are genetic variances that lighten the effects.
