We'll see what the inquiry says in time. I suspect it will focus on the preparation before the virus arrived and the timing of the lockdown.
Not sure if there's a link between how countries have managed the crisis and how their residents think they have. But from the countries you mentioned:
Germany 46
Italy 36
Spain -4
France -12
UK -15
I'm surprised by the strong rating Italy got and by the low rating France got. I wouldn't have placed the UK last in the surveyed world though.
