There are left leaning governments with v successful covid responses (Canada, S Korea). Right leaning govts too (Germany, Japan). Those that failed (US, Brazil, Mexico...) rejected science, refused to lead with expertise.

You’re right Scott, all comparisons to peer countries are flawed because *insert rationalization* Counterfactual: if we had a death rate similarly low to Germany or Canada ect, you would tout that as evidence of “4D chess level leadership” by Trumppic.twitter.com/FxfqNsd9LO

I'm no big fan of America's Wuhan Pneumonia response, but it's silly to call it a failure. The effective R has been below 1 for two months. It's been below 1 for about four of the six or so months of the epidemic.

The bottom line is that virtually none of the variation in per capita COVID fatalities over countries can be "explained" by the variation in the policies in place to combat the virus. Strict lockdown, casual lockdown, or no lockdown, it just doesn't matter in any measurable way.

And if the policies of Norway, Denmark, & Germany were so effective, why didn't the other developed countries just adopt them and be done with it? Because there were no "best practices" to adopt.
