Foreign Minister Mike Pompeo and President Donald Trump’s economic adviser Kevin Hassett have watched the three countries particularly closely over the past two weeks in order to reopen the economy. According to Bloomberg, Hassett knew a few weeks ago that statistics had been compiled daily with Austrian numbers to see how the first steps of relief from Corona’s measures affected the new infection numbers.
Austria has taken very fast and strict measures compared to the United States. Initial departure restrictions were announced on March 13, one day after the first confirmed death. Trump, on the other hand, had initially only reluctantly reacted to the rapid increase in Covid 19 cases. With 1.3 million corona infections and nearly 80,000 deaths, the United States is by far the most affected country.
Singapore experienced the “second wave”
South Korea is repeatedly mentioned as a role model in the fight against the new virus. The high number of tests carried out is an important aspect. However, according to Bloomberg, Austria has carried out significantly more tests per million inhabitants than the East Asian country. After the reopening of bars and nightclubs, the fastest increase in South Korea in four weeks found 34 new cases over the weekend. Singapore has been a model student for a long time because it carefully tracks infection strings and quarantines all contact persons. There was also a second wave there in April, which resulted in more restrictive measures.
