A large number of available and accurate tests definitely mattered. But that is not merely enough, someone had to make decisions and coordinate the efforts. I have no idea who that was, but they did a great job.
they weren't only testing everybody on a massive scale, they also assigned a team of like 5 people for every positive case to trace everyone they could have come in contact with

And they have to do it EARLY. It is useless to compare or even worse suggest these solutions now.
EARLY is key. Experimenting theories in a scenario like is so risky - difficult to understand why the UK went that way.
