Most of the countries that had a major outbreak during SARS1 did well, initially, for obvious enough reasons. New Zealand also did pretty well, because public health officials took it seriously instead of going "holy shit this is infectious, way too much trouble to contain, just let the kids spread it and the lord will sort them" like a lot of other countries.

In the west only rich people will be aforded protection from ongoing and future pandemics. We could have solved most of the problem by implementing air cleaning measures in public indoor areas, and making sure everyone know the basics of wearing n95 masks when outbreaks occured, but nah. Better to just shower rich people and cops with money. Until more effective vaccines are distributed, the rest of us will just be constantly reinfected until we have a stroke, heart attack, alzheimers, or other major organ failure. But don't worry, 9 out of 10 of us will be fine enough until we get near retirement age, probably.
