  • Description: Why have some countries fared so much better than others in the face of the pandemic? This summer, MIT Technology Review spoke with people on the front lines of the response in five countries that have tackled covid-19 exceptionally well: Mongolia, Germany, Liberia, Vietnam, and Uruguay. These countries have nothing obvious in common. They run the gamut in terms of wealth, size, population, and style of government. What they shared was a swift, coordinated, apolitical government response. Where that has been lacking, no amount of scientific expertise, technical knowhow, or wealth can prevent disaster, as the United States all too grimly shows.
