Back in Feburary, Statista wrote an article about countries with the best and worst pandemic preparation.

Here's their summary chart:

Equatorial Guinea has 1/7 the cases Japan does.

Yeah, we'll wait and see how the African nations handle this pandemic, as it doesn't sound good for them. They're faced with even more problems than most other countries because on top of lack of resources, their governments are in tatters (thanks, colonialism, great job🙄).

Meanwhile, the world is shockingly bad at handling this, even in countries that do have the resources. Makes me almost wish I lived in Vietnam. Or New Zealand. New Zealand seemed to have done well in all of this.

And then there's the US. (つ﹏⊂) Maybe once Trump gets voted out of power things will finally get back onto the right track.
