Opinion: "What Do Countries With The Best Coronavirus Responses Have In Common? Women Leaders":

The various "responses" are almost irrelevant once you consider the uneven distribution of the
haves and the
have nots.
Of COURSE countries with lots of "haves" are also going to
have far more cases of the Covid-19 virus merely for the ease with which they can get up and go wherever they want.
If many spots in Africa were similarly afflicted with Covid as is the USA... the death toll would make anything you've seen so far seem like saturday morning cartoons.
But, relatively few in Africa can get up and go across the globe on a whim, and very few in Africa can jump in the land rover and drive halfway across a continent on a whim.
And relatively few from the rest of the world are so eager to go to Africa and spread their glee among the impoverished populations there.
Thus they can't spread the thing as easily as elsewhere.
The mobile population is what dictates more than anything the end result where it concerns Covid's spread.
Nobody hears a thing about North Korea and Covid... and it certainly isn't because Koreans are so seemingly brilliant with regard to response.
Now that we know that house pets can acquire our Covid-19, it remains safe to say that a house cat is much less vulnerable to the disease than a cat who
cats around outside all night.
Besides, "response" by its very nature only occurs after there's a problem.
China
caused "the problem"... and said problem has spread disproportionately around the world based on wealth and mobility, with a strong assist from population density.
(of course the amusing part is that China leads most in the area of population density... and they had mass internal travel during the New Year celebration right before lockdown... and yet, somehow, Shanghai and Beijing combined for maybe 15 deaths between them -
officially, that is...)
