Been what? 40 days since our L1 announcement and apart from those British twats, we haven't YET had more public cases.
Just new ones found in managed isolation.

Must be great living in a place with competent management.

Bit early to be judging any country's tactics to be a success, I think. Especially when those tactics are basically "turn our country into a prison island until we find a vaccine".

I suppose, although we can clearly name some failures. The living can yet die, but the dead ain't coming back.

Pfff. Virtually
Everyone is doing border controls. The successes like New Zealand are the places where you can end lockdowns, send kids to school, go to a bar, dine out, and so on. Per Wikipedia, NZ went down to
only border controls since June 8th (y'know, the same border controls being used for most of the world). "Prison Island" my ass.

What
are you talking about?
That's the best tactic and the UK government has failed dismally. At least the Scottish have been more sensible.

I love living on Prison Vancouver Island if it means the threat from Asylum America is reduced. How is it "a bit early to be judging" when NZ is a perfect example of the best advice being followed under the best conditions resulting in the best results? Same here. On the island our new cases are from visitors either sneaking in from the USA or people who have had contact with them and not self isolating after.
I will eventually regain my liberty and, even better, most likely be alive and well to enjoy it.

That has a lot of ski fields that were fucking busy. And are finally quiet after the school holidays.

On this issue SD seems to be one of the "muh raights!" twits.
Taiwan has done well. Greece has handled this well. Loads of places have done better than Spain, France the USA and of course the UK.
Here in the UK we continue to be ridiculous.

Y-axis is new case count compared to same day a week ago (workaround for the strong weekly cycle exhibited by them both - among other benefits). US reports always get corrected upwards over time, but i think the negative is big enough to stay negative. First negative over a very long time - hopefully that will be the trend from now on.
And CC is not doing well - Spain keeps reporting big numbers and most of the rest continue to be stalled or slightly rising.

If being opposed to wrecking your economy to delay the inevitable and give granny six more months in a care home is twittery.

Deaths are below the five year average for the fourth consecutive week. Ridiculous, indeed.
