  2. Well if 20 countries did largely the same thing, border quarantine and another 50 countries had no border quarantine why is it surprising that the first 20 countries mentioned have less than 10% of the deaths per Capita on average than the latter 50 countries. It's extremely consistent. That's just one measure that's consistent, if you dig deeper you will find more things.

  3.  @breakthroughchiropracticcl3526  Well the most compelling evidence is the consistency of approach by WHO region and consistency of outcome up until the last few months with the new more contagious variants. The entire Western Pacific WHO region has mandatory enforced usually hotel quarantine for all international arrivals and as pointed out in another comment SARS affected our region significantly at the time with tourism so some preparedness because of that. 3 of the toughest quarantine countries in the world are in our region , Japan, Australia and New Zealand so we take quarantine very seriously and have systems in place. The most compelling despite all that I just said is actually the fact that countries such as Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam that were doing as well as others in our general region (Thailand and Malaysia are in South East Asia WHO region which tended to have shorter mandatory quarantine) have completely failed. Sydney is now experiencing great difficulties due to the Delta variant with about 100 cases a day and they have the hardest lockdown in that state excluding the initial lockdown from over a year ago. The other aspect look at the diversity in our WHO region , China, Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Australia , New Zealand, The Philippines and Papua New Guinea along with a lot of small Pacific nations. Collectively we have nothing in common except our overall response particularly with borders. I have raved on for a bit , up to you to consider what I have said.
