Surely the question should be. 'Why weren't countries prepared?'
1) 1st case in Wuhan November 2019
2) knowledge regarding spread and level of transmission known since mid January 2020
3) Warnings of potential mass influenza type pandemics since 2016 IIRC
Governments around the world treated this as the previous version of SARS or MERS and basically hoped it would go away until it was too late.
