While countries that had rapidly locked down soon realized that they had no way of maintaining lockdown either physically or financially until the vaccine became available. Countries that had hoped to carry on regardless soon found that they had a mounting death toll that they were being blamed for by not locking down sooner. The key mantra was our scientists will soon produce a vaccine which will save our population and our political skins meanwhile the virus oblivious to the turmoil marched on. Whatever the political reaction to the virus infecting their countries population the majority of leaders appeared to believe that medical science was going to miraculously save them from a problem over which they had neither control nor knowledge. It is just a matter of degree whether health or wealth has been damaged the most and maybe over time it may turn out that there is little difference. Neither reaction has protected their countries health nor their countries wealth. One set of world leaders went in to political denial, pandemics will not affect our modern country we can carry on as if nothing has changed or went in to meltdown and closed down their countries with severe long term financial consequences. Developed countries health care systems were stretched to the point of collapse, old people were left to die in several “civilized countries” world travel was stopped many countries borrowed or printed money several times their GDP and political leaders fell in to 2 camps. Within 3 months of the virus being identified as Corona Virus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2), 90% of the world had shut down. An unknown virus, probably in a bat colony in central China mutated to allow it to infect humans too.
