It would be obvious that the strategy was bad if they had the worst death rate. It wouldn’t necessarily follow that the strategy was good if that honour fell to someone else.

Two or more countries could have bad Covid policies, with the outcome varying based on a number of factors. General health of the population, availability of healthcare at the point of infection, what treatments were available, vaccines, which vaccines.

Smallpox? And well on the way with polio? SARS? MERS? It’s certainly possible but requires an extent of collective effort that will never be seen when some can profiteer in the chaos.

Although rehashing that debate is of little value.
