We made out extremely well in Nova Scotia, Canada while centralized provinces still aren't doing so well in the country. With just under 1 million population, there were only 64 deaths and nearly all of them were in long term care homes that got out of control. Only 1074 confirmed cases as well. Nobody liked being locked down, but everyone did what they were supposed to and aside from a few people arriving in the province testing positive and needing to quarantine, there haven't been hardly any cases and no deaths in weeks. But, because we listened to the provincial government and gave up our rights, they seem to be stretching their reach like many other places on the mask issue. The emergency public health measures were put in place to reduce the spread so hospitals could have time to get ready. Now, everyone seems to be in eliminate mode coming up with absurd irrational measures and they're not giving us our freedom back - or if they are, they're taking others in the process. There should still be precautions of course, but now we're being more controlled than when this started and it's not looking like it's going to let up. The curve has been flat since May, the hospitals are ready, but the government won't acknowledge that because it would mean giving people back the responsibility of their own lives.
There's a degree of that here in New Zealand as well. We don't really see people with masks much any more though. It's mostly Oriental people who seem to wear the masks but that's also a natural thing for them.
