A post by the person who took the original pic of the Japanese Hornets
Here is an updated pic of the infamous Japanese hornet queens. They're about 5.5cm in length. Remember, I HAVE SMALL HANDS.
Just to recap, there was ONE single nest found on Vancouver Island in September of 2019 and has since then been destroyed. They have not established themselves in North America since. The larvae feed on insect flesh, the adults sip nectar and the nutritious saliva of their brood. THEY ARE NOT MURDERERS. They do not have a taste for human flesh. Let's put a stop to this misinformation, NOW!
Just a side note: Honeybees are NOT endangered, NATIVE bees are! Honeybees are invasive in the western world and compete with native bees for nectar and pollen. The Asian honeybees have evolved a defensive technique against the Japanese hornet, known as thermo-balling. They engulf the scout hornet and vibrate their bodies at a collective temperature to a lethal level, essentially "cooking" the hornet alive.
Here is the original post of my photo on Flickr.

cuba has also gifted the world with teams of doctors, PPE and, medicines
Leader: Male (brother of Fidel Castro)
Costa Rica :
"Costa Rica, where Latin America’s first COVID-19 case was reported, is one of the most successful nations in the fight against the coronavirus.
Its infection and death rates are lower than that of New Zealand."
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/05/costa-rica-winning-battle-coronavirus-covid-19/
Leader: Carlos Alvarado Quesada

lepperochan, there are a lot of variables regarding your observations on global death rates. Some of these counties have sparser populations & maybe the climate too is playing its part. It is not as simple as saying one country is managing better than another because none of them started on a level playing field with the same environment or conditions, etc.

I think, (NZ included) they are all islands ('cept maybe or arguably S Korea which is half an Island)
N Korea and Tiawan probably had a bit of a head start because they had some kind of readiness from other virus' coming from China through the years
Costa Rica and NZ are probably furthest from Wuhan, of the two NZ could be closest
NZ shut down, Tiawan didn't (as such)
N Korea, Tiawan and Vietnam, and Costa Rica probably have the most concentrated population
NZ probably enjoy the best quality of life
those are some I could think of off top of head ...they may not be accurate though
