In the US there WAS a HUGE time delay before Covid was even acknowledged. Remember the cruise ship that was NOT allowed to dock..........because it would show the TRUTH about the existence of Covid which the US was pretending to DENY. Remember ALL the body bags in the NY City area where Covid 1st hit. Remember the total deaths of around one million US citizens. By my estimation at least 200,000 deaths were due to SLOW / DELAYED reaction to Covid. Remember the delayed acceptance of the Covid vaccine. That killed a lot of Americans. Remember that in some midwestern states only 50% of the eligible adults got their 1st shot. That was a DELAY. Countries like Australia and New Zealand reacted right away - they had experience with Pandemics before. They mandated restrictions and then got close to 100% shot acceptance when shots were available.
If someone says that the US reacted rapidly to the Covid Pandemic, they are engaging in revisionist history - like they do often in countries like Russia.
