Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic

Everyone around them has hundreds of cases, but they only now has their first one? does it sound believable? Almost as believable as Tajikistan, North Korea and Turkmenistan having no cases at all

Let’s remember that not every nation is a well developed 1st world nation

Turkmenistan and North Korea are dictatorships, of course they would be hiding this.

So we are starting to see certain countries are really standing out in the way they are handling this pandemic or really struggling to cope.
Times like this really can show what a country is made of and how its leadership truly is. I'm not going to judge most poorer nations here as that would be simply unfair.

Positive:
China - Say what you like about their figures (I'd say looking at the next country below that they are very likely no less accurate than others here) but you cannot deny that response in China was ineffective. From sealing off an entire province to building hospitals in under a week (which all closed with 6 weeks as they got it under control so well) it's been very drastic - But such is what drastic times call for. I'm so happy to see Hubei reopened and hope the best for them in the months going ahead
Germany - Germany on the first glance looks to be struggling with its cases. But look at how low their death rate is compared to everyone else up at the top and close to 50,000 already recovered. They are testing more people and have properly put in effective measures to handle it all and it seems to be working as they are already slowly starting to reopen.
South Korea - A few weeks ago the world was looking on fearfully at Korea, now we look to them in envy. Sure the nation already being on a ever heightened alert state has helped them prepare and take action quickly, and the sheer scale of their test programmes is almost unrivalled by any other large country. And all of this without having to shut the whole country down. 
Iceland & Faroe Islands - Now these two have advantages as their small populations and isolated location make contact tracing easier. But even then the response from both governments has been incredible with new Faroese cases halted and Icelandic ones slowing every day while almost everybody is making full recoveries.
New Zealand - Drastic measures from the first report of community spread. 1 single death. A leader who knows what she is doing. Well done Kiwis. 

Negative:
United States - Where do we even begin here... Oh yeah that leader who first cried "hoax", then told everyone churches should reopen and be packed by Easter and did almost nothing until the point his nation's biggest city has fallen into chaos. Obviously the size of the country meant it was bound to have many cases but this is unprecedented. A serious failure and nothing more.
Brazil - I really feel for Brazil as they don't necessarily have the resources in many areas to fight this off. But really Bolsonaro? Constant denial and downplaying the threat will kill hundreds in such a densely packed and in many areas impoverished nation.
United Kingdom - Of all the countries I could have been stuck in and it was this one. What the hell even is going on? A half arsed attempt at a lockdown that is both crippling the country and not actually solving the issue while testing kits are nowhere to be seen and their government is refusing to get ventilators from anyone other than a party donor, a vaccuum company who have never before made medical equipment. This will be Europes worst hit country and no shock at all.
