I think we can say for certain that this is the most political viral outbreak in US history.
Most of the world has pretty much followed the same policies and gotten different results based on everything from weather to population patterns, to how many people were already infected when testing finally ramped up. And all we can see from both sides is criticism of the others side's handling.
The truth is that most of the world screwed this one up. South Korea is a bright example of doing things right. While it seems some smaller countries got lucky because they are small and not as densely populated. The rest are a real mixed bag.
