Pure myth. It's been a horrible mess in the US. You seem to be totally lost on this topic. Here in Canada we have far better numbers AND likely less restrictions then you have. However, that required properly used lock downs, safety precautions, and buy in from most of the public ( which occurred very early in the process ). The hysteria concerning Covid exists on those who refused to accept the reality of the virus, thereby making the damage worse and creating the need for worse restrictions now.
Pure myth ? What is a pure myth ?? That the republican states have implemented less restrictions and let those go while the covid was still active ?
Hhhhmm, if our resident canadian says so that must be a myth eh... you sure can report from the ground.
What is the density in Canada, to put things into perspective ? But yes in Quebec restrictions seem to have been pretty mild, a cousin left there for work (in a small city) just before this mess and while it has been bad for their new restaurant and other projects, he has been working hard to empry the Saint Laurent of all fish with his friend this whole time.
Density ridiculously low though, u don´t need to push social distancing much there from the pics I see.
