I don’t think that the ability to enforce the restrictions was the most important success criteria. Australia, NZ and the other countries that have succeeded have a pro-social culture of collective effort. The US, and increasingly Canada as well, do not - they have an “everyone for themselves” culture. In the end if people are not going to follow the rules it won’t matter what you try to do - you will fail. In the US and Canada people only halfheartedly follow the rules when the situation is grim, the ERs are filled and freezer trucks parked in the hospital parking lot.
