Yay, I guess? Good job on curbing the spread of the virus, but it's a bit of cold comfort when you're admitting you dodged a bullet because it would've been total devastation considering the healthcare system is in complete disarray. Hopefully this opens some doors to major changes over there

Not a cold comfort knowing government acted swiftly and protected it's high risk aged population from this disease, considering nearly a quarter of Portugal's population is in that category, their death figures are a considerable achievement..(though maybe those figures are doctored slightly, like the Brits and Americans are currently doing..who knows?)

I wasn't trying to come off as hostile, it's obviously great that they've been able to contain covid-19 as well as they have. It's just a strange quote in the article where they're essentially admitting they'd be worse off than everyone else had it gotten out of control. Maybe they should look into that.
