That works well in countries that operate in a military or police state environment with a compliant population. You cant use New Zealand or Australia as examples, as good as they are, because population demographics is on their side. Germany was the best guide we had, and they are struggling. In short We are much the same as Europe.
Some states in the US are complete basket cases, Population densities and geographic distancing says it simply shouldn't spread, but it is. Their constitutional rights to kill themselves and everyone else apparently.
