Just like an alarm clock, some nations have hit snooze and others have woken up. It's pretty clear who is ready (Taiwan, HK, SK) and who is not.

Note: I think it's fair to say, SK is/was ready or has responded well, patient 31 notwithstanding.

I think the USA needs to work on the basics, but other nations will have so interesting advanced strategic decisions. i.e. Does ventilator design changes frequently? Does it make sense to have an on-demand factory or just build up a stockpile of ventilators that can be distributed as needed?
