Given where we were during the first year of the pandemic, our turnaround is nothing short of astonishing! According to Bloomberg's "COVID Resilience Ranking," the U.S. is now ranked first in the world. Excerpt:

Almost a year and a half into the pandemic, the best and worst places to be in the COVID-19 era are increasingly defined by one thing: normalization.
The biggest vaccination drive in history is enabling parts of the globe to abolish mask mandates, relax restrictions and dismantle border curbs, making the magnitude of reopening key to quality of life. Taming cases and deaths was once paramount, along with ensuring a robust health-care system.
Now, the ability to essentially turn back the clock and return to pre-pandemic times is taking on an even greater significance.
Central to that is an economy's openness to the world, and that's why we've introduced a new element – Reopening Progress – to Bloomberg's COVID Resilience Ranking.
Two new metrics capture the ease of moving in and out of a place and how much air travel has recovered, alongside our 10 other measures tracking mortality rates to infection counts, freedom of movement to economic growth.
This pivot has ushered in dramatic changes to the ranks. The U.S. is now No. 1, with its fast and expansive vaccine rollout, dominated by the highly effective Messenger RNA shots, stemming what was once the world's worst outbreak.
