Well. As a nation the discussion seems to have moved to Australia having "defeated" the virus and life potentially returning to normal, minus the open borders of course, until a vaccine is found.

Should be interesting to see how things go.

But our Universal Healthcare System (Which includes advertising and dissemination of information and working with all rescue agencies...) has proven to be extremely effective... Something that New Zealand has mimicked successfully also.

Definitely haven't dropped the ball like the USA has done.

If by "dropped the ball" you mean handled it better than most countries, then yes.

Only if you start counting from the last spot. Seriously, calling the handling of it in the US as only sub-par would be a big understatement.

Handled better than most countries? Sure…

It's better like this, as it shows all the big nations - and how the US is really standing out in a bad way:
