Yes, those who can get the pandemics within their own countries under control within 1-2 month, will be the "winners" and those who are slow to manage it, may suffer economically for at least a decade or more. It will probably re-arrange the world power structure, with China, Hong Kong and maybe North Korea on top, and the USA, and most of Europe normally at the top, shifted from their top spots to lower down?
The huge concern worldwide for today...is that the bell-shaped curve WANTS to form, for the daily new cases, from but for whatever reason individual countries still do not have it under any kind of consistent control yet.
You can see in the last 24 hours...in the USA who wants to stop the Lockdown ASAP adding 17,388 new cases, Russia another denier country added 4,774 new cases, UK another denier added 4,583 cases, Spain still a basket case adding 4,635 new cases, and even Singapore adding 1,037 cases? See https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries for daily details.
The longer the former major powers keep denying...and do not stop the new cases in their countries in the next few weeks, the more likely those economies and those countries will lose their spot as world powers. Denier countries like USA, Russia, UK, and Brazil, are setting themselves up for a major fall in power and creating a long lasting destruction of their economies that might last decades?
