As HabuHunter points out, South Korea and Taiwan have done very well indeed.
For reasons that would not, at this point, work in Australia.
Contact tracing methodology seen there would be too "intrusive".
Removal of all those who test positive to a government facility until deemed fit would be too "draconian".
Huge fines for failure to report symptoms "Orwellian".
Get used to the idea of those and we might get back to normal. Personally, I don't think there is a snowballs.
