> And now UK is a complete mess heading into winter and Australia has effective elimination.

Of course it might help that Australia is actually heading into summer.

And it has been eliminated before the summer months.

Also in many places in Australia it was eliminated well before winter.

I am in the part of Australia that didn't eliminate it well before winter. But with 112 days of lock-down _during_ winter we certainly had the numbers come down dramatically and have had twenty-three days so far of no new infections or deaths.

From tomorrow we no longer have to wear masks outside unless it gets crowded such that you cannot maintain physical distancing!
