As Covid-19 spread around the world as a forest fire before this year, governments had to act temporarily to involve the epidemic. Some have done more than others with South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam, all notable examples of places where massive tests combined with effective tactile studies and isolation helped first to curb the spread of the disease. Elsewhere, some governments have been criticized for falling too much into the implementation of blockades, with the US and the UK still among the most affected countries in the world. In Europe, Italy and Spain were the initial epicentre of the pandemic before the rigorous methods of lockout even though it all put the disease under a control, although the summer holiday season caused an increase in cases in the pandemic.
A recent Pew Research Center survey measured the public’s attitudes towards the government’s reaction to coronaviruses in 14 complex economies, and concluded that the view is positive with a median approval of 73%. However, there is some variation in this assessment, and British and American respondents are obviously divided in their views. The poll found that a majority of 54% of others in the UK disapprove of their government’s reaction to the pandemic, while 46% give the go-ahead. The effects are similar among U.S. respondents, 52% of the public say the government has reacted badly to the epidemic, while 47% approve. This is in stark contrast to Canada, where 88% of others north of the U.S. border say their government has done a smart job with their reaction to coronavirus.
