Here is the situation in Alaska recently, cases are down somewhat, that's good. Not surprisingly Anchorage the largest city has the most cases and some places have few or even none.
What about Western Australia? Over 250 days of ZERO community transmission! ZERO!
How did they do it?
Low population? Nope, population of Western Australia is almost 4X that of Alaska.
Small cities? Nope, largest city Perth has 2 million, Anchorage has only 400,000.
