LOL for France who fucked it up good, England who managed to do even worse, and Norway and NZ who nailed it.

ShouldersDeepInAHorse
Sweden ended up a lot worse than Norway, God knows why they said Russia, France and Italy were more prepared too
Pseudomenos
Sweden has more cases per capita than Italy

Much less deaths though, this indicates differences in testing.
If you mean that sweden tested more that is not true. It may mean lots of things, from different way to register deaths to strain virulence

In theory that seems correct. In practice the US had Donald tRump and the Republicunts.

Who disbanded the US' Pandemic Response Unit, the highest rated in the world btw, because they thought it was a waste of tax money. Oops.

It didn't just get the US wrong. Most of Africa did amazing. And NZ was perfect.
thegreatcnut
Nah, most of Africa just didn't report numbers

“Ranked by ability”. Not “Ranked by actually being prepared and doing something about it”. Had the ability, just didn’t want to

boblives
Yeah, New Zealand and Italy were ranked the same but with 2 completely different results
Counterfit
Italy got cought by surprise, unfortunately
Yeah makes sense, but that's like part of being prepared trying to detect an outbreak before it becomes wide spread
How can you detect something you don't know exists?
You probably need a plan, like to check if stuff is getting weird
spudpicker
I was about to laugh at you, but did some research first. Looks like it was circulating in Italy as early as Sept. That IS a surprise.
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/11/coronavirus-italy-covid-19-pandemic-europe-date-antibodies-study
DrSparken
Not as early as sept, just that the study these came from started then. Earliest were in october, which is still very odd; not impossible, >
PantLord
Take the fucking U.K. off there. Our government left us to the Wolves because they were to incompetent to keep us safe. Fuck the Tories.
NeverShaveYourDuck
Are you missing the point that it was the world's WRONGEST infographic? The UK is appropriately marked wrongly as "Most prepared".
ShadeEmberi
now now they always make the right decision....4 weeks after when it was needed
NotoriousDuchess
Honestly it's hard to see how they could have been more useless. The only one who was decent was Rishi.
His ear out to help out bullshit massively increased deaths because the economy is more important to him than the people who drive it.
madeejit
It was quite a rollercoaster there. UK is crushing vaccine rollout compared to a lot of the west though.
eggscanfly
People seem to forget though that the purpose of a vaccine is to save lives & the economy... but we've already fucked up both.
Voidhawk42
That's cause the NHS is fucking genius, and for once the gov decided to not touch it. Everything else has been murder-by-proxy.
HeinekenBottle
Yes but have you noticed how it’s being reported? NHS track and trace vs Government Vaccine scheme... you can see what they’re trying to do
Superbobbit
They took a risk jumping the gun on vaccine. It's worked out thank god, but we're waiting 12 weeks for 2nd shots, not the reccomend 3.
siberianhufky
There’s data coming out that a 12 week gap may be more effective. Boris accidentally shit a golden egg as it could have ended up ineffective
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Boris' entire political career is based on the fact that he seems to be unreasonably lucky
Compo1130
The public did most of the damage by disregarding the rules. Boris could have done a lot differently but the fact is a lot won't follow.
LicensedAdHominem
The government's purpose is to organize, clearly define and enforce the rules.
Could have closed the borders, could have gone for zero COVID rather than herd immunity, funnelled literal billions to his mates. (1/2)
TheFishFace
Boris' worst error was loosening up too soon. UK entered restrictions in a similar way to other places, but wasted time over summer.
People could have done more but let’s not cut Boris slack when he is responsible for making this waaaaaayyyy worse than it should have been.
Wordsmeannothing
Telling people to go back to the office, telling people to go to the pub, telling parents to send their kids to school. What a that!
JosephCabbage
The "Eat Out to Help Out" thing was BEYOND stupid! "We'll pay half your bill to go outside" and THEN blamed it on the public when No. spiked
Boris and the government fucked it from the off. Dont blame the people when there is such poor leadership.
BeardedAssassin
And the people having parties and flocking to beaches in droves are not to blame? Blaming it all on the government is a cop-out
Not providing a consistent and strong message it what the problem is. I am old enough to remember the aids campaign. Boris fucked it!
The fact that ppl fucked up too doesn’t excuse that hes the one whos supposed to know better. He fucked up. Don’t make excuses for the cunt
[deleted]
Oh yeah that makes up for keeping the borders, funnelling billions that should have gone to the NHS to their mates, lying to get Brexit (1/2
all the nepotism, misleading MPs, gerrymandering, and too many other things to list. But yeah we are “lucky” that they did the bare minimum.
Ok fair enough. There’s just too many ppl saying “give Boris a break because we aren’t ALL broke and dead yet.” Sorry for pouncing.
In America, we got 0% pay, and had to go back to work. Fuck your tories, for sure, but our democrats couldn't even do that.

Prepared doesn't equate to using that preparation. Stockpiling food for the apocalypse is no use when you don't stay there.
Awmph
They didn't realize they needed to rank political preparedness as well.

Right. The US had resources available. Hard to use those effectively when half the population is campaigning against basic hygiene (masks).
It's just so. fucking. mind boggling.
longshorttermmemorynetwork
Yeah, but also we weren't prepared either.
JustABookworm
No one was really prepared, the map is more of a comparison of who was the most prepared, and I guess US is included in that.
OlderWiser
I stockpiled food and stayed home mostly. Now I have a lot of food I need to eat at home so I have that going for me which is nice.
areyouelonmusk
US had the resources, our shit president didn't use them and also spread lies and fueled fake outrage.
somtin
Mostly it was to avoid looking weak and losing poll numbers.When that didn't work it turned into an excuse to rack up political retribution
ApotheosisCM
What's extra frustrating is that it's a stupid political decision. If just shuts the fuck up and lets us beat the virus, he wins reelection.

He even blocked the use and execution of actions that would have saved lives, he literally was worse than if he had done nothing at all.

Lol, same for everything he's ever done. What a fucking tool

He could have done nothing, let the experts do their job, and he probably would have won reelection.

But that would require not getting all the attention and it's too risky that someone else might get credit . So here we are
ElroydIsGone
Like stockpiling canned food for a generation, but the only can opener left had "Obama" engraved on it, so they threw it away.
torillatavataan
They were prepared. They had contingency plans. They. Had. An. Otterhugging. Pandemic Playbook. Which they tossed into the fire in 2017.
Ah, yes, it was even established by Bush jr. already, right? And then updated by Obama, so not even a dreaded pure "Buh Obama-thingy".

How crazy is that? I’m first gen American, family left NI during the Troubles and I’ve been looking at NI like “damn, should prolly go back”
I mean, the NI Executive has kinda fucked everything else but the pandemic has been handled pretty well.
If you do *everything* right all at once, people will get suspicious.
It's all DUP bullshit mostly. We only got equal marriage rights and abortion rights due to them taking a near 3 year break.
mynamespaul
And NI is doing pretty fucking shit, so that’s saying an awful lot!
Compared to say, NZ, sure. But compared to the UK as a whole? We rule. Also we have one of the best vaccine roll outs in the world.
I’m mostly thinking compared to the rest of Ireland
Compared to ROI we have had less deaths, I know population is less up here, and more vaccinated. I'd call that better handled.

In the UK a lot of our preparations and planning was mainly for a flu pandemic. Turns out Covid ain't flu....
Be that as it may, we've seen in this pandemic that the real impact comes from the actions taken by whoever is currently governing.

Trunkmonkay
Sweden gambled on transmitted herd immunity when there was 0 science to support the practice.

They even argued against mask usage arguing it could increase the spread.

Sweden's response was mostly soft measures rather than hard. Think "please stay at home and be careful" rather than mandatory lockdown

How's your vaccine rollout going? Hopefully that will put an end to things soon.
It's going slow but it's going. Hopefully I get mine one April because I'm in a risk group
TheBlackKaiser
Did go better then the US. A healthier population and sick time is useful... different baselines.
Exactly, plus universal health care. Comparisons are tricky, but it's safe to say it didn't go well in either country.
Cruxador

DigiT00l

TurdBurglar3000
In all fairness, they didn't even seem to want to particularly curb the pandemic.
DavosTheOnionKnight
Precisely. That was their plan all along. Let it burn through the population fast and then get back to work. It worked, but the sacrifice
was more than could be tolerated in retrospect.

But... they are still not back to work.
I would say that it didn't work
Because they abandoned it after several months. It was working but people were dying in higher numbers than a civilized society would accept
KattenGustafsson
Most industrial workers never left work so you are kind of wrong
Self-reported, probably.
ozbatman
As an Australian, I am laughing hysterically that this shows America as “most prepared.”
Learn to read. Nowhere it says they were "most prepared", just that they had the ability to respond to a pandemic. Which they failed to use.
makky0
Yes normally those who are well prepared are very different to those with a good ability to respond
Don't forget the UK, which is in roughly the same boat.
GravyEducation
No one in America with a brain thought it was going to end well
They had the tools... unfortunately the biggest tool was President at the time.
hufflesnuff
Trump fucked up bigly. But let's be real. You can't have an effective pandemic response in a country without a proper healthcare system.
DatDarthCaedus
They were quite well prepared, it's just that the president and his administration intentionally sabotaged the response for their own 1/
political and economical gain; shit like denying aid to states who didn't vote Trump, Kushner refusing to share the stockpile intended 2/
for situations like this, them telling states they have to buy their own supplies only for the feds to seize said supplies and resell, etc.

that in-person classes were cancelled, & everyone had 24 hours to figure out how to deliver all content online. That first couple of ->

fentproptrac
We’d prepared for the wrong pandemic. Planning for flu rather than SARS type illness
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
After Cygnus they continued limiting NHS seasonal flu capacity, after the exercise showed even a flu pandemic would put it overcapacity. A
single way, for context, they didn't even plan for the flu we expected was ventilator availability.
grubben
Also both can affect both upper and lower respiratory tract and so both possibly require ventilators. Literally there is no difference.
You're even less prepared for Smallpox 4 when that evolves. -Your reptilian alien overlords
This was a complete bullshit statement from Gove. The PPE required is exactly the same and so we prepared for both. Disgusted he wasnt 1/2
Called out on this, and horrified that people seem to take what he says at face value. 2/2
R0 much lower for influenza, ventilator days lower too. It’s not just PPE availability that’s affected
Right... that's not the case for every influenza first off all so immediately this doesn't work, the Ro is different for every flu virus 1/2
If the Ro is high enough for a flu epidemic in the UK, its going to be at least comparable to covid's. Please do not ever listen to the 1/2

We don't own Greenland, and did treat them shamefully when they were our colony. What you said is a big yikes if you know the history.
They are self-governed since '79. Btw, they are not part of the EU, although belonging to an EU member. They left the EC in '85 after >
a referendum, but still have special status (eligible for EU funding and they are still EU citizens). Kinda weird status, but apparently OK.

Yes, owned
Nope, not "owned" but technically part of the Danish Kingdom. They have their own government though, but receives a lot of support from DK >

I'm Danish.
Jrhoney
Minimal population and infrastructure means it isn't on the same level as Denmark.
Minimal population and infrastructure means the resources required is less than the rest of the Kingdom. Not that we let part of our (1/2)
(2/2) kingdom be unprepared.
twozerooz
Denmark owns Greenland like the UK owns Canada/Australia. Lol.
Without it, they would not be able to function as a coherent country.
Kind of like EU countries rely on the EU for foreign policy and grants?
Not really. Greenland would disolve and its soveignty would be up for grabs without DK's assistance.
Not quite. Denmark is responsible for Greenland's internal and external security and foreign policy. Also gives annual allowance of $500 mil

Johnson and Johnson. It’s a one dose vaccine. It only requires the temperatures of a regular refrigerator.

How can you detect something you don't know exists?
boblives
You probably need a plan, like to check if stuff is getting weird

I was about to laugh at you, but did some research first. Looks like it was circulating in Italy as early as Sept. That IS a surprise.

Not as early as sept, just that the study these came from started then. Earliest were in october, which is still very odd; not impossible, >
PantLord
Take the fucking U.K. off there. Our government left us to the Wolves because they were to incompetent to keep us safe. Fuck the Tories.
NeverShaveYourDuck
Are you missing the point that it was the world's WRONGEST infographic? The UK is appropriately marked wrongly as "Most prepared".
ShadeEmberi
now now they always make the right decision....4 weeks after when it was needed
NotoriousDuchess
Honestly it's hard to see how they could have been more useless. The only one who was decent was Rishi.
PantLord
His ear out to help out bullshit massively increased deaths because the economy is more important to him than the people who drive it.
madeejit
It was quite a rollercoaster there. UK is crushing vaccine rollout compared to a lot of the west though.
eggscanfly
People seem to forget though that the purpose of a vaccine is to save lives & the economy... but we've already fucked up both.
Voidhawk42
That's cause the NHS is fucking genius, and for once the gov decided to not touch it. Everything else has been murder-by-proxy.
HeinekenBottle
Yes but have you noticed how it’s being reported? NHS track and trace vs Government Vaccine scheme... you can see what they’re trying to do
Superbobbit
They took a risk jumping the gun on vaccine. It's worked out thank god, but we're waiting 12 weeks for 2nd shots, not the reccomend 3.
siberianhufky
There’s data coming out that a 12 week gap may be more effective. Boris accidentally shit a golden egg as it could have ended up ineffective
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Boris' entire political career is based on the fact that he seems to be unreasonably lucky
Compo1130
The public did most of the damage by disregarding the rules. Boris could have done a lot differently but the fact is a lot won't follow.
LicensedAdHominem
The government's purpose is to organize, clearly define and enforce the rules.
PantLord
Could have closed the borders, could have gone for zero COVID rather than herd immunity, funnelled literal billions to his mates. (1/2)
TheFishFace
Boris' worst error was loosening up too soon. UK entered restrictions in a similar way to other places, but wasted time over summer.
PantLord
People could have done more but let’s not cut Boris slack when he is responsible for making this waaaaaayyyy worse than it should have been.
Wordsmeannothing
Telling people to go back to the office, telling people to go to the pub, telling parents to send their kids to school. What a that!
JosephCabbage
The "Eat Out to Help Out" thing was BEYOND stupid! "We'll pay half your bill to go outside" and THEN blamed it on the public when No. spiked
Wordsmeannothing
Boris and the government fucked it from the off. Dont blame the people when there is such poor leadership.
BeardedAssassin
And the people having parties and flocking to beaches in droves are not to blame? Blaming it all on the government is a cop-out
Wordsmeannothing
Not providing a consistent and strong message it what the problem is. I am old enough to remember the aids campaign. Boris fucked it!

The fact that ppl fucked up too doesn’t excuse that hes the one whos supposed to know better. He fucked up. Don’t make excuses for the cunt

It's just so. fucking. mind boggling.

Yeah, but also we weren't prepared either.
JustABookworm
No one was really prepared, the map is more of a comparison of who was the most prepared, and I guess US is included in that.
OlderWiser
I stockpiled food and stayed home mostly. Now I have a lot of food I need to eat at home so I have that going for me which is nice.

Mostly it was to avoid looking weak and losing poll numbers.When that didn't work it turned into an excuse to rack up political retribution

Compared to ROI we have had less deaths, I know population is less up here, and more vaccinated. I'd call that better handled.

Sweden gambled on transmitted herd immunity when there was 0 science to support the practice.

As an Australian, I am laughing hysterically that this shows America as “most prepared.”

Learn to read. Nowhere it says they were "most prepared", just that they had the ability to respond to a pandemic. Which they failed to use.

Yes normally those who are well prepared are very different to those with a good ability to respond

Trump fucked up bigly. But let's be real. You can't have an effective pandemic response in a country without a proper healthcare system.

They were quite well prepared, it's just that the president and his administration intentionally sabotaged the response for their own 1/

single way, for context, they didn't even plan for the flu we expected was ventilator availability.
grubben
Also both can affect both upper and lower respiratory tract and so both possibly require ventilators. Literally there is no difference.
LordNergal
You're even less prepared for Smallpox 4 when that evolves. -Your reptilian alien overlords

This was a complete bullshit statement from Gove. The PPE required is exactly the same and so we prepared for both. Disgusted he wasnt 1/2

Called out on this, and horrified that people seem to take what he says at face value. 2/2
fentproptrac
R0 much lower for influenza, ventilator days lower too. It’s not just PPE availability that’s affected
grubben
Right... that's not the case for every influenza first off all so immediately this doesn't work, the Ro is different for every flu virus 1/2

If the Ro is high enough for a flu epidemic in the UK, its going to be at least comparable to covid's. Please do not ever listen to the 1/2
