Here is the bottom line according to this article:
Dozens of interviews, along with survey data and scientific studies from around the world, point to a lifesaving trait that Australians displayed from the top of government to the hospital floor and that Americans have shown they lack: trust, in science and institutions, but especially in one another.
When the pandemic began, 76% of Australians said they trusted the health care system (compared with around 34% of Americans), and 93% of Australians reported being able to get support in times of crisis from people living outside their household.
In global surveys, Australians were more likely than Americans to agree that “most people can be trusted” — a major factor, researchers found, in getting people to change their behavior for the common good to combat COVID, by reducing their movements, wearing masks and getting vaccinated. Partly because of that compliance, which kept the virus more in check, Australia’s economy has grown faster than America’s through the pandemic.
But of greater import, interpersonal trust — a belief that others would do what was right not just for the individual but for the community — saved lives. Trust mattered more than smoking prevalence, health spending or form of government, a study of 177 countries in The Lancet recently found. And in Australia, the process of turning trust into action began early.

When you are counting different things, numbers are meaningless.
What is the morbid obesity rate in Australia?
That’s an olympic size steaming plant load
The phrase “I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery” comes to mind. They basically turned into a prison colony again for two years.
The success was FL, make sure to keep the most vulnerable safe, such as those in nursing homes and let the Coof spread among the healthier population to get immunity. The economy remains healthy and people are free and happy.
And, did Australia send infected individuals into nursing homes?
Maybe we should send them Cuomo.

What a crock of ####. The leftists in the MSM want to glorify Autralian covid concentration camps because that’s what they want for Trump supporters.

Imagine actually believing 1 million people died from Covid. And yet people I once respected believe it, hook line and sinker. This nation is completely lost.
I'm sure that the Aussies didn't stick COVID patients in nursing hoes where the most vulnerable live. they probably didn't count suicides and deaths from automotive accidents as COVID related, either. I'm sure that skewed their numbers down, as well.
Both of those are commi newspapers. Let’s celebrate China and Austrlia that had authoritarian lockdowns.
How about the 30 other countries that did better than Australia and didn’t throw their citizens into camps.

Maybe Australia didn’t count non covid deaths as covid cases like we did. No mention of Sweden? Last I heard they didn’t have any more deaths than countries that lockdown, of course that doesn’t fit their narrative, so let’s not mention it.
Odds are that the Australian health system kept more honest numbers, while the US federal government was paying out hospitals who would write off people with broken legs as covid patients.
B.S.
Author didn’t mention population density at all, and that sure seems relevant. 3 people per square kilometer in Australia, 36 per sq km in the U.S.
