Round 1 ReviewGeneral Comments
This paper [1] is very interesting and approaches the problem at hand with an innovative perspective. The statistical analysis is quite enlightening, showing how the available data should be interpreted and used to improve health systems’ response to the crisis and explaining why the working strategies of countries like Germany and South Korea are so effective. I fully support the publication of this paper. I suggest only a more careful review to correct a few typos in the main text. Other than that, I endorse this paper’s publication.
