By Carl Smith<\/a><\/p>\n

In late 2021, Australian science journalist Carl Smith was granted a rare and special privilege: he was allowed to leave his country.<\/p>\n

For most people living in Australia at the time, this was not possible – because it was one of the few nations that continued to aim for \u2018covid zero\u2019. This meant closing borders, tracing every contact, stamping out every infection cluster, and multiple rounds of lockdowns.<\/p>\n

After arriving in Europe in early 2022, he visited another country on the other side of the world that had a very different but equally unique experience of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The small Baltic nation of Estonia is one of the most advanced \u2018digital societies\u2019 in the world. Sophisticated digital infrastructure created before the pandemic limits the need for Estonians to leave their homes to interact with their government or local companies.<\/p>\n

So, what impacts did these unusual factors have on each country during the rampage of the Sars-CoV-2 virus?<\/p>\n

As we continue to hear stories of how other nations battled the COVID-19 pandemic, how do we even define \u2018success\u2019? And what can we learn from countries like Australia and Estonia as societies step into a \u2018new normal\u2019?<\/p>\n
