We’re seeing dramatic differences in rates of COVID infection, illness, and death in different places. What do you think about these differences?

I'm not really sure what to make of this. I guess it has to do with government responses, 'luck' and randomness, but also accumulative effects of policies taken early on.. However, I believe the picture will keep changing. I read that Wuhan managed to eliminate it recently, and I saw pictures of huge concerts and parties taking place without any sort of protective equipment required. On the one hand, I feel envious that China managed to succeed in this respect. On the other hand, I feel that to achieve this, we all in the West need to accept being controlled and regulated 24/7, which goes against our cultural ethics and our belief in individual choice and autonomy.
