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

Do you have an opinion as to why Australia & New Zealand have managed the pandemic so well but no other “Western” country has? [Do I have to call AU/NZ settler colonial states that are part of the British Commonwealth? lol] yes, there’s the island aspect, but it’s not just that

like, the UK (well, Wales) apparently thinks it’s going to solve COVID-19 by banning women from buying sanitary products: https://twitter.com/horton_official/status/1320672084230590465 … it’s just stunning to compare AU/NZ to the UK in terms of the pandemic, given the cultural similarities/affinities
