This list should be fairly easy if you follow the news. Some notable absentees and thoughts from me:

Portugal

Romania

Poland

Pakistan

Philippines (I know, but don't expect to see Palau on here :)

Russia being so low on this list and South Korea not even close to this list shows that their extensive testing proves how important 'Test, track and trace' will be when we return to some sort of normality. Although I believe that Europe is well past the peak of virus and Latin America + Russia are now at the peak, we must not be complacent and let up too soon to risk a second peak. A vaccine may not come this year or at all so we have to expect the worst and prevent it. Stay safe Jetpunkers.
