    Western Australia has like 50 people living there, the majority lives in Eastern Australia

    Also the way it was handled in Australia would have caused a civil war in USA, and was probably not exactly according to human rights standards. I don’t say you did a bad job, i say you had other problems and conditions.

      Wouldn’t it have been easier to just Google “population Western Australia” (2.667 Million in 2020) than to dig up a misleading map that tells an incomplete picture? It’s true we are not the most populous state by any means, but you don’t need to be insulting with that level of hyperbole.

      No matter how you spin it, our pre-Omicron Covid response was nothing short of incredible. While the world suffered, we pretty much nope’d out of the whole thing. I would not be surprised if WA becomes a pandemic response case study in future.

      I do agree that the USA probably couldn’t pull together enough to put something like that I to action. The USA is anything but united until someone literally invades. It’s just a pity they didn’t look at the pandemic in a similar light to a foreign invader.

        Its not insulting to say that the population density is waaaaaay different then USA or Europe, wich i was saying to be able to compare, Australia has also another climate wich impacts the spread of diseases.

        And as said each country did something and response to such events has to be individual there is mostly no better or worse way… Except for China that literally fucked themselves over super hard… USA didn’t do good but not spectacularly bad compared to others.
