I feel that while China was slow letting the world know they had an epidemic, countries still had time to react and get things in place, while we're further away than you are and had a little more time to get a plan of action done and get it implemented I'm surprised other countries including Spain and Italy could've had their countries in lockdown far sooner,.. IMO the only advantage Australia and here had was a little more time to plan and execute, and make sure all the bases were covered..

We've been lucky in that as of 12.00 p.m. on 24 April we'd had only 16 deaths, there was some 1.070 confirmed cases here of which 1,80 had recovered.. On monday 27 April at midnight we'll be dropping from a level 4 lockdown to level 3 which will see most businesses reopen tuesday morning and those kids who don't have a parent or guardian to look after them will be allowed back to school, albeit with social distancing taught to them as soon as the first class starts..

IMHO it's all well and good blaming China for being slow letting the world know about Covid 19, they can't be blamed for various governments not closing their borders and getting into lockdown as quickly as possible, once in lockdown some of the other things like business bailouts and such can be worked on, public safety should be every governments prime concern, not sitting round playing the blame game..
