That's fascinating, Derek. Oz managed a rapid and united 
response for different historical reasons, and a certain 
amount of luck, given the government's dreadful response to 
the bushfires immediately before!

The reason that other East Asian countries have managed the 
pandemic relatively well is that the people had experienced 
SARS and H1N1 and understood right away what had to be done. 
The UK report that Julian shared shows that too long a time 
without experiencing a pandemic has made governments and 
populations complacent.

Australia banned entrance from China the day after the US 
did, but no country can refuse entry to its own nationals, 
so Australia made everyone spend 2 weeks in Christmas Island 
in quarantine before getting into Australia (the kind of 
practice we have a long history of doing) while 40,000 US 
residents have flown in from China without being tested 
since the borders were supposedly closed. Europe was in the 
same situation. Once you've missed the first few cases it is 
a losing battle. As far as I can see, you either flatten the 
curve as best you can to defend your ICU wards and wait for 
the vaccine, or you start stopping people at county and 
state borders and try to contain the spread. I think the 
latter is untenable in the US, because of your history.
