Russia and China: A dangerous virus is fucking up our country, let's instantly take radical action! Close the borders!
Western liberal democracies: Eh, we don't really want to harm that GDP. Keep the borders and schools open and tell everybody it's just a flue!
One of the only good things about this whole bullshit is that it's exposing just how comically incompetent and disregardful towards it's people the democracies are. The swift authoritarian response by the likes of China and Russia towards the virus relative to the democracies gives credibility to the idea that dictatorships are better are providing security to the population than democracy.
