Easier if you live on an Island, but still quite difficult - Victoria (about 1/4 of the Australian population, IIRC) had a serious 4-month lockdown that just recently ended.

I suspect most countries who would take a 4-month lockdown would be in a very good condition.

The place where being an island helps tremendously is with avoiding re-introduction.

Still ending really... There are still travel restriction from metropolitan Melbourne to regional Victoria - expected to end Sunday at midnight. Retail capacity is also limited still, but ramping back up.
