A case for a "Ukrainian model" of fighting the spread of coronavirus?

Ukraine, which has been progressively rolling out social distancing measures (like restricting public transport) since 1st confirmed case without going on full lockdown is now way below Spain on the curve. https://twitter.com/Mortis_Banned/status/1245338596070100992

However, for a country which lacks in medical resources, Ukraine was in a fortunate position of seeing outbreaks develop in Europe nearly a month ahead (Spain hit 40 confirmed cases on February 29, Ukraine - March 21).

Ukraine also was fortunate to have most covid-19 carrying guest workers returning from Europe end up in smaller villages and towns, easier to trace/isolate.

Still, these early measures bought Ukraine time to develop testing system (covid-19 cases now tested in regional labs).

If the current trend of doubling cases about once every 4 or 5 days continues (fingers crossed), Ukraine could contain the pandemic without going on full lockdown, which would be a final blow to already fragile economy (even those weaker measures hit it hard).

Welp, Ukraine just reported another record daily growth of cases (+175 since last evening). It is now over 1000, at 1072 registered cases and 27 deaths.

Yet the daily growth is also lower percentage-wise than when I started this thread (19.5% vs 21%).
