Aparrently FM Global has a "Resilience index", where they meassure and rank the ability of a country to get through a crisis, based on alot of parameters.

They ranked Norway as #1 and Denmark as #2.....lmao.

Part of why we ranked high, was political stability, low corruption, low risk of natural disaster (during this time), and our strong supply chains.
Ontop of our economy being healthy.

Doesnt this go without saying? like a country as "Venezuela" if they get a serious outbreak of coronavirus things will be worse there, than in other countries? That makes sense to me.... ranking denmark that high though? meh.

Still why even make such a index ranking though?

LOL. Apparently China has a resilience a lot lower than europe. And the US has among the highest resilience worldwide. Look how that turned out.

Beats me.... to be fair, I think this data is towards the impact of a crisis, and how the country is after.
Probably as seen from the view of how big a hit the economy takes, prices on houseing ect.

This isnt a "if coronavirus hits, which countries loss less lives, or has less sick" thingy.

That said, the fact that the US has like ~17 million job losses due to this, in like 3 weeks time.
And FM Global has the US ranked so high... it makes me question it as well.
