"Tiny bridge"?
Yes, and you can reduce the number of pedestrian crossings to entrants to your country (singapore) to zero, by simply shutting off that one crossing.

Australia has a handful of international airports. America has more than 100. America had something to manage on a much different scale than Australia.
Of which 13 airports were accepting return travelers in March. India is a 3rd world countries with 1.3billion people, it's still not as bad as the usa.india has to manage something on a much different scale than the us and if you work out averages America totally fucked it any way you look at it
If you think the Indian medical system has a grip on how many infections or deaths they have, then you would believe anything.
And yet they are still not as bad as the us, shall we go through the list of 150 countries that are doing better than the USA and point out why they are not doing as good as them ?
India has no clue how many infections they have. They likely have had far more than the U.S. but there is no way to gather the data because of the state of their health system.
