Australia has reached 128 dead. Shocking. US 140,000 dead and increasing.

1. . . . and us Aussies are taking it very seriously indeed.

No 'rugged individualism' here. More a caring and sharing thing, or in the local talk, we try to look after our mates.
('Mates' really means everybody.)

No talk of 'If you die, it's God's will, and you must have done something really, really naughty to upset Him'.

But we are a strange breed. Politicians are actually concerned about people more than the shriveling economy.

And not too many private citizens own guns, and we still feel safe in our homes.

Won't mention our health care system . . . but it works better than yours!

2. The relatively low death rate there is due to lack of trump BS clearly

3. Australia has always chosen society over the market

Take care of society and the markets will be OK Destroy the social good and
''Everything Crash''

4. Trump is literally bragging about passing dementia tests, no joking. Right now America is screwed

5. I spend time every day at an Australian-based cycling website - you guys are

totally taking this shit SERIOUSLY!! Police officers are stopping cyclists, and asking where they live in relation to where they were stopped on the road. They're trying to keep everyone within their own particular neighborhoods. I can't believe how far we as Americans have fallen, when it comes to the good of society. If this attitude was pervasive back during WWII, we would absolutely be speaking German today.

6. Could someone make an ad using these figures?

Compare a well run country with trump's farcical effort?

Aust: 24.5 million with 128 deaths

USA: 328 million 140,000 dead

If Australia had used trump's response to the virus the number of dead would be ...
