  1. It's not just politicians, or hard to say how much influence between health professionals and politicians. The consistency in policy and results based on WHO region is remarkable and not a coincidence in my opinion, the South East Asian WHO region which is South Asia and some ASEAN countries took the middle ground, which has resulted in at this point in time middle of the road results overall. The West Pacific WHO region took the most cautious approach which is from China to New Zealand and all the countries in between, border policy 14 days mandatory enforced (usually hotel) quarantine, worst performing countries in deaths per million for this region are Philippines and Japan, however their deaths per million are less than 10% of the US. The European WHO region and PAHO Pan-American Health Organization region had a relaxed approach with open borders and voluntary or self quarantine for travellers, naturally the policy has resulted in the worst deaths per million.
