Countries have experienced varied success in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. To understand these variations, the study used netnography on news media and websites, and social media. Factors identified as critical to success in managing the pandemic fall into two categories: state-centric and socio-demographic. State-centric factors such as policy learning and implementation structure, and technological and administrative readiness have influenced success. Contextual factors such as a country’s demographic profile (e.g., age), family structure (multigenerational family), and cultural attributes (e.g., kissing and hugging to greet) also shape the effectiveness of policies for controlling the pandemic.

COVID-19大流行：为什么某些国家比其他国家更成功地应对？

各国在控制COVID-19大流行方面取得了不同的成功。为了了解这些差异，该研究在新闻媒体和网站以及社交媒体上使用了民族志。对成功管理大流行至关重要的因素分为两类：以国家为中心和以社会人口为单位。以国家为中心的因素，例如政策学习和实施结构以及技术和行政准备程度，已经影响了成功。诸如国家的人口概况（例如年龄），家庭结构（多代家庭）和文化属性（例如亲吻和拥抱打招呼）等情境因素也影响了控制大流行的政策的有效性。
