I'm only concerned with big countries here. The problem is, with respect, simply not that big or hard in small countries. So Covid response is meaningfully comparable across say the US, India, China, the EU (to the extent it is a single zone) etc.

The problem here is that government runs on the assumption that you will govern. If not--if you're about looting the treasury--it falls apart. Normally we screen those guys out, fairly well overall. Even Dubya wanted to govern. Trump literally ignored the entire problem.

I mean, is the corporation in an existential crisis because there have been so many examples of bad CEOs? Whereas we really have ONE example of a President who didn't want to govern? Also, historically ppl didn't want to mask in 18, or blackout during WWII. They were compelled.
