  1. I'm Australian, I went to college in America (U. Illinois) and was working in Canada 3 years ago. About 10 years ago after a couple of medical scandals we looked at other nations and investigated America, Canada and Britain to name a few. So not only have I personnel experience with the American system Australia has done the research into other health care systems. If we add up the populations of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin its 25.2 million compared to Australia's 25.6. Yes there is massive differences in geographical size and population density. The winters are very different. BUT the medical technology, education, manufacturing capability and transportation are near identical. Australia has 909 COVID fatalities while Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin have 33,435 COVID fatalities. (sourced -> https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/) In just the last 7 days (4-1 thru 10-1-2021) just Illinois with less than half the population of Australia has had 971 fatalities. Illinois is a Blue Democrat State and the Country has been run by Red Republicans so neither side can blame the other for this tragedy. I can personally testify that the people of those states are mostly decent, honest and hard working. They don't deserve this. I am currently in the city of Brisbane. We just came out of a 3 day lockdown because of 2 cases of the new British strain turned up and they don't how how 1 of those people got it. There is now mandatory mask wearing in all public places along with enforced distancing regulations until the 20th. That's just while they work out how we got 2 cases of the British Strain!!! Australia *DOESN'T have some magic Kangaroo juice or any other magic medical technology. Our leaders have their flaws and they do make mistakes. So how else can anyone explain what has happened in places like Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin other than a catastrophic failure of leadership?

  2.  @Boris80b  That was sort of obvious. I have a few friends who after spending time in Australia and then going back had mind flips. It was similar for me. After 3-1/2 years at Illinois I saw Australia in a different context. You might like this, its a context shift of a fun kind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64mWOoj68qo

  3.  @Boris80b  That makes you one of the very rare to admit that. You must have spent time outside of America to understand that.

  5. I'm Australian and was working in Sask when Trump tore up NAFTA, imposed tariffs and told 35 million of the politest people in history to go f--k themselves.. I suspect you and a few others are enjoying a pretty good party about now. Just don't get too carried away, if this shit goes truly of the deep end then you might get a few million refugees heading North. 🤔🤫
