Yes. Look at Australia and New Zealand, who implemented incredibly strict lockdowns and enforced then actively.

Those countries got to party together for new year's because they were both at zero cases.

My best friend is over there. I was in Melbourne when their measures started back in March. I was on one of the last flights back, a few days later, to the uk. Lockdown started here less than a week after they did.

Yet Australia has made a huge success of it. By doing the things we merely talked about. By enforcing basic requirements like masks where we somehow (STILL) can't.

It's very frustrating watching him on the beach while I can't even get a pint...

Trust me I know. I'm FROM Melbourne. My friends and family are all there. I'd love to fly back from the UK right now but with quarantine fees it's about eight thousand dollars.

buddy, People in Australia were literally only allowed to leave their houses 1 hour a day. It wasn't fucking masks.
