TO ALL: The combined populations of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin is 25.2 million, which compares to Australia's 25.6million.
Australia has 908 COVID deaths while Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin has just over 28,000 --> https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
Right now Australia has just over 1400 active cases while Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin have over 520,000 active cases as Winter sets in.
In the last 2 days Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin had another 643 fatalities.
On October 14 we had 5 die and since then 4 more. --> https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/australia/
We currently have a cluster with over 20 cases reported and its major news. Yesterday Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin reported over 16,500 new cases.
Sure Australia is an Island and it was easier to isolate ourselves early on and we got very lucky regarding big crowd events when it first arrived here. We cancelled the Grand Prix and other events that could have been disastrous. We didn't have things like college and high school basketball going on which were just perfect for spreading this thing. We also didn't have any magic potion that a few conspiracy ass holes claimed at one point.
But what we do is isolate when we get clusters and stop them getting out of control. Most of our 908 dead came from one cluster breaking containment in my home state of Victoria. Just to show we have idiots as well - we have people still complaining about lockdowns and isolating clusters DESPITE the fact we know that works and we know it saves lives. We had people screaming at one point we needed to be like Sweden, but its now obvious that Sweden go it wrong. Its costs 1000s of lives and didn't save their economy.
What we can say now with a fair amount of certainty is that what we did in Australia has hurt our economy for sure and it will take years to recover but it has saved at least 20,000 lives (based on parts of Europe) and as many as 28,000 lives (based on parts of America).
Like many Australian I want to see America recover from this.
Wherever you - Take Care & Stay Safe.
