Why Countries Like China, New Zealand, Australia & Cuba Fought COVID-19 Better Than The US & Europe

We speak to Prof. Peter Baldwin, Author of ‘Fighting The First Wave: Why Coronavirus Was Tackled So Differently Across The Globe’. He discusses the degree of populism in countries around the world and how it affected the ability to respond to Coronavirus, why countries such as China, Cuba and Vietnam were able to deal with the Coronavirus pandemic so effectively, the success of certain democracies such as New Zealand and Australia in dealing with the pandemic and why Western Europe did not have similar success, why governments will find it hard to impose new lockdowns as new variants emerge and much more!
