“rate of recovery when it has been in other countries”
Excellent point, Other countries will most likely have a better system.
At least more honest reporting. The Chinese government has always downplayed the severity of viruses coming out of their region. As for better healthcare, In a pandemic, the west will fare better in the early stages. But if the facilities are overwhelmed (supplies/beds/personnel run out) I guess people will have to do they best they can on their own. If we are to believe some of the nurse reports trickling out of Wuhan, that is what is happening there now.
