Not to mention that covid arrived in the US at peak flu season, whereas Australia got to enjoy a 6 month head start and benefit from all the lessons learned in the rest of the world during that period. These comparisons really are silly on multiple levels.Why? Circumstances vary widely from country to country. Australia has one of the lowest population densities of any nation. It's isolated geographically. It has far fewer travelers entering. Your population is less than California or Texas by themselves. The population centers are hundreds of miles from one another. You could've done literally nothing to slow the spread and still wound up with better numbers than the US.
