We're a smallish population spread out over a giant island and incredibly lucky. I honestly don't know, because we keep opening up too early and reinfecting previously uninfected states and also there was that time we let a cruise with infected ppl just go off and mingle with the general population.
We've fucked up like that so many times, that I don't know how it isn't worse other then luck. That, or they're lying about the numbers.
Obviously they're not hiding numbers, and it's not luck either, Australia is actually doing fine. Doesn't matter if there are a few infections, they are easy to control if they're not many. Australia got away because they actually had meaningful border control after having shut down and brought the infections down to almost 0, at which point you can just do small regional lockdowns and contact tracing. That's what pretty much every country that did well did. It's pretty much what China did too.
It seemed for a while like they were gonna fuck it up, I guess they realized it was better in every regard to do that instead, which somehow no one else realized.

I refuse to believe that my country is capable of doing anything good

but yeah you're probably right
