Perhaps something we can learn from the coronavirus pandemic is a lesson we should have been taught as youngsters: Be a good listener. On a global scale, it means taking seriously how other governments have approached the growing crisis as well as avoiding their mistakes; on a local level, it means determining the right way to push people to isolate themselves in order to ease the burden on health systems. Country by country, the struggle to contain the spread of Covid-19 remains a moving target, but no one on Earth is in it alone, and many nations were caught unprepared. Here's how a few of them have handled — or failed to handle — the crisis.
