I agree with Dragon and Sarriesfan. "Baseline" is a wrod we use a lot in my line of work; so my mind automatically went with the base description initially, without considering "coverage". I tried to correct myself in my second post, but Sarriesfan and, as usual, Dragonspeaker explained it much better.

Actually, upon reading it several more times, I think it means that for some countries there is coverage for some portion of the population (which is baseline coverage, I think). For the others, they have to start from zero (or close to zero, with no data to understand how clsoe they actually are to zero); so they have to work harder.
I admit I mşigh be wrong, though...

counteractive: To oppose and mitigate the effects of by contrary action; check (TFD).
But honestly, it depends on the context.

I would say "with my father"
