So much is on, the Easter Show started yesterday, La Traviata on the harbour, Hamilton, Frozen, the Autumn racing carnival. Our local beach suburb has a big kids show, it is a beautiful early autumn weather.
There is a lot more involved in it than that. It has been contained by early and strict measures in East Asia and in Australia and NZ.b
I am sure. But think about it, Coronavirus hasn't been much of a factor in the entire east , south east Asia. It ha spared Aus and No which has a large Asian population plus close proximity to Asia. Also it seems to be within limits in Canada. It stands to reason East Asian ethnicity may be a limiting factor.

It may be a small factor in that masks (which have been little worn here in much of the country) have not been politicised. We are used to seeing Asians wearing them at times.
We have not been spared here, we were one of the first countries where the virus was recorded. Measures were taken early, lockdowns started early and as they worked, people complied. Victoria largely complied with their lockdown of 111 days partly as they knew the rest of the country was largely virus free and they wanted to be too.
It has not been much of a factor, as you put it, because it has been contained by a wide range of measures. Not the least of which has been stringent border control.
Toronto is probably the best from a QoL aspect and where to raise a family, but I'd probably have the most fun in London. I'd never consider Australia because it's so far away from the Americas, but they've done things quite well politically and probably closer to the U.S. as far as being a younger country with a frontier/independent spirit and beaches & weather like we'd find in Southern California.

The fact that the country is the size of a continent and it has the population of a small European country is a MASSIVE advantage too.
Yep being a large, isolated island makes it very easy to manage borders. This has been the biggest factor of the success of Australia and NZ.
Yes and the fact that there is a humongous amount of room. The UK, the Netherlands and Belgium were really struggling (Belgium and Netherlands actually still are really struggling) because they all have incredibly high population density. England for eg has 432 people per square km! Australia in comparison has slightly over 3!
The vaccine is finally giving us some relief (currently anyway), let's hope this nasty virus buggers off sooner rather than later for all of us.

While that is true, it doesn't really tell the whole story of density in Australia. It is one of the most urbanised countries in the world. More urbanised than the UK and not far behind the Netherlands really.
Yes it is a massive land mass, but 90% of the people are clustered in a relatively few urban centres. And that urbanisation rate continues to increase unfortunately.

NYC gets this, barely beating London in most categories.
Sydney and Toronto are much smaller here. And although both are absolutely incredible cities, they can't really compete well with London or NYC.
