Australia adhered to much stronger restrictions. See https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-54654646 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-54654646
- siquick 6y agoIt's also much easier to close both country borders and interstate borders here. That's the main reason we've been successful along with people's general willingness to follow rules here.
- chii 6y agowhilst it's true that australia's state borders are much more easily monitored, if people truly wanted to cross, they don't have to go thru major roads. I think the willingness to follow rules is a much more important trait than the ease with which roads could be closed. The US has many roads between states and it is indeed impractical to close them. But it would not be impractical to ask every citizen to not travel. But how many would've heeded that call?
