Australia, New Zealand, the UK (guidance not law), Germany, etc etc etc. Perhaps better to ask why many places in the US aren't even doing the basic protection measures that most of the world has adopted this late in the pandemic

What an oddly US-centric thing to say. The United States makes up what, 4% of the world's population? and even within the US many places ARE doing these things

Also, I live in Australia and it is HILARIOUS to hear someone describe us as a "remote Pacific Island". Sydney is a city of 5.23 million, it is wonderfully silly to describe it in such terms

The first confirmed cases in the US and Australia of COVID-19 entered the country on January 15th vs 19th, respectively

The US has more international travel, but also ~8x the population. As you've already shown, per capita we have comparable or possible MORE travel in Australia, and more of ours comes directly from China

Would it? The Greater Sydney region, which people often ignorantly imagine is Sydney, has a very low population density. This does include some large national parks (one is the size of Liechtenstein) however

The built urban area, however, is much more dense. Not quite as impressive as London or New York, more like Atlanta or similar. Inner city Sydney is as dense as NYC/London, with ~10,000 people per km^2

Yep, so roughly comparable. Sydney is definitely spread out, but it has extremely dense areas (I live in one) as well as massive national parks
