You mean, beyond the Australian example that I mentioned, and other examples leaping out from the page that I cited such as New Zealand, Singapore, and Thailand? The one that I'd recommend studying is Taiwan, where the March list of action items is simply amazing to read through.

Perhaps some people looking at the graphs will say "Taiwan has had _hundreds_ of cases in the past six months! That's not eradication!" Travelers arriving in Taiwan are quarantined for two weeks, and of course sometimes turn out to be positive, which is counted as a Taiwan case.

Again, what you claimed was "One country after another has successfully eradicated COVID-19 cases; the U.S. reacts with ignorance and denial." You still haven't been able to back that claim up with actual examples. Mere reduction is not enough.

I gave details of the Australian example, and pointed to a page whose graphs make it easy to see more examples. _Temporary_ reduction of virus prevalence isn't enough; that's exactly the point! The successful countries set the target at eradication, and don't let up until then.

Again, what you claimed was "One country after another has successfully eradicated COVID-19 cases; the U.S. reacts with ignorance and denial.", which I think is reasonable to read as _many_ different countries have eradicated COVID, _unlike_ the US. And that's not true.

Quite simply, what countries do you think constitute examples of countries that have eliminated COVID-19?
