Another lesson is to observe that health of every national societies is a global concern; the lack of transparency and intransigence would likely result in further deaths and significant complications. In the globe age, information is an essential commodity

The third lesson, do not underestimate the power of localism and social networks. Communities can quickly communicate and coordinate resources as a means to safeguard its members

Fourth lesson, compassionate leadership matters. The Orange Man in the White House have a keen political intuition to play off the resentment off the embittered blue-collar class and the establishment to his advantage and electoral success but this impedes any developments

And the final lesson is remain vigilant and prudent. Southeast Asian democracies were able quick delivery systems to quickly contain and manage the virus because there societies understand it's own vulnerabilities being near the epicenter of several outbreaks of SARS
