And I thought it was only here in the USA... Almost good to know that we're not alone in our incompetence.

At least next time around we should all be prepared like Taiwan was this time.

No, you're not. In Greece starting tomorrow all bars, restaurants, malls, hair salons and whatnot will be shut down. Schools are already closed for two weeks.

It's not just the inefficiency of central governments. The main problem, at least here, is that people seem reluctant to follow guidelines, and thus the state had to enforce stricter rules. The same happened in Italy and it's the reason incidents skyrocketed. Everyone was fucking around thinking that it's just another variant of the flu. And then reality hit them like a ton of bricks.
