  1. There are no cases or so very few, mostly imported cases for a long time. They do have 2 vaccines I think with at least one in phase 3 trials. They have vaccinated some medical workers I think but phase 3 trials need to be done elsewhere where there are high infection rates. Australia has virtually no new cases but we only have 1 vaccine I think in phase 2 trials. Good thing is out of about 10 vaccines or so looking fairly good some will hopefully turn out to be really effective.

  2. Their deaths are up actually because I am sure you are aware that excess deaths are around 300,000 at the moment in the US year to date and not all covid 19. Because health systems are struggling in many cases etc. You are right more are dying than just the headline number.

  3. I feel for you but can't see how it can be done in your country because no state is willing so far to put serious travel restrictions in place so it can never be got rid of. In Australia with 7 major jurisdictions only one border was open during the initial lockdown and all flights were cancelled. To get there it takes a very serious effort. If a few states went it alone they could but seems unlikely. Also in some parts of your country very difficult to shut state borders because some states so small and interconnected, so maybe would need regional approach. Best of luck and stay safe the best you can. Everyone hoping for vaccine because even in countries with no or little covid the travel restrictions means no international tourists or students.
