Coronavirus--democracies better at epidemics

From The Economist.

Note double log scales.  So deaths/million ten times less in democracies.


We analysed all recorded epidemics since 1960 and found democracies handle epidemic diseases better than their non-democratic counterparts.  Diseases like Covid-19 are deadlier in non-democracies.  Even though China says otherwise.
