    This document compares the COVID-19 case and death data, as well as the pandemic responses, of the USA, Taiwan, New Zealand, and Sweden. It notes that Taiwan and New Zealand had very few total cases compared to the USA due to early border controls and strict lockdowns. The USA reacted slowly, did not implement early border controls, and had over 7 million total cases and 212,000 deaths. Sweden encouraged social distancing but did not lock down, reporting over 76,000 cases and 5,893 deaths in its population of 10 million.

    COVID-19: The USA

    VS.
    Taiwan, New Zealand, and Sweden

    Case Data & How They/We


    (sadly) Handled It
    Total cases: 7.64 million
    in USA
    oblems total deaths - 212 thousand
    Pr
    Most cases: Indigenous and Black Americans
    Racism also left Indigenous and Black Americans
    at risk due to job opportunities offered to them
    Reacted slowly to COVID, & had underfunding of
    hospitals. We pretty much didn't handle it. Save
    the fact that we're currently at home.

    Trumps Lies
    When COVID first started, President Trump called it lies and a hoax
    Did nothing about it, and let 200k people die
    Some of his supporters only took it seriously after he said he got
    COVID.
    Before him getting COVID came out, to the people, he actually went to
    a public gathering of sorts and mingled, getting more people sick, and
    the worst thing is, he knew!

    co 521 total cases
    1st 7 deaths
    3 active cases
    About 90% of cases were 30-79 years of age

    How They Handled It


    quick to take action when the pandemic arrived i.e. border
    control and face masks, as early as January
    inspection of passengers coming from Wuhan (where the
    pandemic started)
    If someone were to spread fake news on the virus, they would
    be fined $100,000 USD, and that's only some of it

    Case Data
    76,000 cases
    5,893 deaths in a population of 10 million
    Lots of officials say that it's too early to tell if this strategy will work
    Has reported 30.3 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days
    Reported a large surge on June of COVID cases

    How they handled it


    Encouraged social distancing, but didn't go into lockdown
    Economy and mental health fared better because of this
    Not a lot of people wore masks
    Although they have not gone under lockdown, or are wearing masks, Sweden doesn't have a
    high death rate

    Taiwan, New Zealand, and had few overall cases compared to other countries,
    kept the virus under control. Both countries issued border control early on. The US
    did not do that, but there are still ways you can help get this virus under control.
    Stay in your home as much as possible; New Zealand issued a strict lockdown
    early on so the virus would not have any host cells, and would eventually die
    When you do go out, only on necessary occasions, make sure you are not
    getting within 6 ft. of people (try for even more), and you are wearing a mask!
