Australia's government basically decided they would try to save as many lives as possible, hence their harsh measures.
Interestingly enough, their football matches are still being played with fans in attendance, though the championship is being moved to a city not in lockdown.
America has effectively decided that the current casualty rate (hundreds per day as opposed to thousands) is tolerable in exchange for getting back to normal.
Different approaches.
