The reasons why Australia is having a decent response to the outbreak are not that “the US is such a capitalist society!”, but rather; Australia is less dense, the virus wasn’t as prevalent when restrictions took place, Australia’s health system is far better and has more capacity, Australia doesn’t have such a disparity in social demographics (in NYC, the biggest hit have been Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx and weighted towards black and Latino communities).

Hope Australia can get back to normalcy as soon as it makes sense.
since orange man is representative of majority then news being broadcasted here in ozland is a good version of ground reality.
