Reading these comments, there is some truth to both "Western" as a political term means the Americas and Europe but sometimes means wealthy members in those areas and can apply to Australia and New Zealand but not necessarily depends on ones own definition. What has stood out and I have never seen it spoken is the Western Pacific region countries of WHO have cooperated and acted in unison with the number one requirement of containment and that is 14 days mandatory enforced (usually hotel) quarantine for all arrivals, the worst performing country in our WHO region is the Philippines however it would be a stand out success in European WHO region or PAHO Pan-American Health Organization region. Both those regions have come very close to acting in unison with a policy of open borders and 10 days voluntary quarantine. People who blame the WHO should blame their own country and or neighbouring countries the peak body of WHO makes no decisions and to blame them is silly. The Western Pacific region includes China all the way to New Zealand with ASEAN split between 2 WHO regions. We are probably the most diverse WHO region on the planet , having still largely tribal lifestyles in Papua New Guinea and some of the smaller Pacific Island nations to Japan and China, different political systems, different cultures, but for this purpose we worked well together even if due to politics we won't acknowledge it. On general quarantine issues many of the countries especially Japan, Australia and New Zealand along with smaller Pacific nations are very strict to start with which I do believe helped because the culture already in existence.

If you actually compare they seem about the same, most people who died from the 1918 flu died from bacterial pneumonia, which is not that common now and usually easily solved with a course of antibiotics. In other words it is just as deadly but we have modern medicine and modern hygiene meaning many lives saved that would have died 100 years ago.

Look up worldometer and work it out for yourself, obviously you can only estimate likely numbers of infections, add maybe 20% to the official case numbers. The world population is irrelevant, funny thing is if you haven't been infected then you have exactly 0 chance of dying from it.

@Shadypirate Ok we take away 20% of the tests if you want, Hungary and Czech Republic already more than 0.2% of population dead from covid 19 after subtraction of 20% of the deaths, some US states the same.

Made me laugh but you are completely wrong, the Wuhan variant died out long ago, the South Africa, UK, Indian, Brazilian and a few US variants have taken over with other lessor known variants I guess.

@Obi_boy I think you should say cultural genocide because just saying genocide causes confusion which doesn't help your cause.
