Clearly, some eastern countries had a lockdown.
Some western countries are doing what they can and most people are adhering.

But it appears some countries are doing mostly nothing. I’m curious which ones they are. I’d like to follow them and see how things unfold there in comparison.
My understanding is that the U.K. and the Netherlands both started out with minimal strictures from the government, but backtracked to the stance of most other developed nations as they numbers started to rise. Sweden is still trying a minimalist approach, but the Swedes may have a unique culture that allows it to work (would love to hear from anyone on the ground in Sweden).
