    Worth noting the truly spectacular achievement of the Australian state of Victoria, which went from 500 daily COVID-19 cases in mid-July to NO cases and NO deaths today In the same time period, France went from 500 daily cases to 50,000 cases and 100s of deaths today

        Obviously France and Victoria are not directly comparable, but I still think the numbers speak to the fantastic achievement of Victoria

        As an American, it’s odd how many Australians I follow, but I’m really proud of what they’ve done.

        not trying to defend the clusterfuck europe's response to covid has been but… environmental differences play a major role. UV and higher temperatures have been shown to destroy the virus. day light duration is 1/3 longer in southern australia than france. UV 8-9 vs 2-3

        It got worse here in Victoria than 500 cases too, 723 cases by 31 July which makes it even more impressive. There were cheers today when the zero tally was announced.

        And tears! I’m very happy to have the easing of restrictions at last, and hopefully with masks and common sense we won’t be back there again!

        Extensive harsh lockdown. Was tough, but worthwhile
