They have the nerve to jab at “nationalist” leaders while at the same time applauding nations that “closed borders” (which Trump would like to do but hasn’t managed really).

Such hypocrites.

AC I am the same, I kept working at my law office every day of China virus, have been on a plane several times and drove to *gasp* Houston three times and back during China virus. Put on a mask when required only because people wanted me to not because I thought it was prudent.

Most countries this article is praising are islands.

And it’s clearly a hit piece on nationalism considering thencooment about what they consider the worst two countries for dealing with the pandemic.

And it’s just their opinion.

Whatever failings the US has are 100% the fault of liberal states, liberal state politicians and the entirety of the liberal pimps and whores that constitute the main stream media.

A huge conspiracy designed to torpedo President Trump's re-election.

The USA is not New York, California nor Virginia.

Absent those, America is not so bad off

Cyprus, Rwanda, Iceland, Australia, Latvia and Sri Lanka made the top 10 for their responses.

All major countries like the US. NO. Meanwhile

Sydney's Lowy Institute assessed almost 100 countries on six criteria, including confirmed cases, Covid-19 deaths and testing metrics....Brazil has recorded more than 218,000 coronavirus deaths – a toll second only to that of the United States.

The total # of confirmed cases and or deaths is not how you rate the status and effectual response, versus the % of deaths among confirmed cases (CFR), and estimated cases (IFR) plus such important factors as population density, average age, and obesity rate and climate. And at 1.5%, New Zealand has a higher CFR than many other countries, but lower than the US which at 1.7% is about in the middle of other countries, and with Singapore having the lowest rate at 0.0%
