> Countries without authoritarian governments likely don't have the means to effectively quarantine major cities and shut down massive portions of their economy immediately without major problems arising
Hum... If people start dying¹, every country will. Democracy will just help ensure it's not done is a hush...
What leads to my second comment, China can not do it without massive problems immediately arising either. The only thing they can do better is hiding those problems, but you bet there are a lot of people dying there because of the measures the government has taken to stop people fro dying.
1 - That's still an "if". How much of the lethality is caused by bad health care in China? I don't think anybody can answer this question yet.
