Australia has just over 25 million people.
Florida has over 21 million people.
The State of Victoria in Australia has once again gone into a COVID-19 lockdown. Twelve new cases were reported, "contact tracers have identified more than 10,000 primary and secondary contacts who would need to quarantine, test and self isolate..."
Australia has reported just over 30,000 cases and 910 deaths.
Florida has reported over 2.3 million cases and over 36,000 deaths.
Hmmmm... Some U.S. citizens and government representatives just don't care?
