Sorry if it came across wrong. point wasn't that a lack of free press is necessary to control the virus. Obviously I'd much rather favour a free press (although I think that tackling false information that threatens health is legitimate), but that one should not disregard China's or Vietnam's achievement just because they're operating under different models.
New Zealand I think stands out as one of the countries with the best responses in the West, and Jacinda Ardern seems to have responded calmly. I take issue more with the UK and US were a deterioating domestic situation seems to have gone hand in hand with increasingly nationalist rhetoric.
