Yes, but considering eg the shitshow down south or in Quebec, that is damning it with faint praise. The fact remains that BC has seven times the deaths of New Zealand.

One thing BC has in its favour is a reasonably common-sense population that more or less understands the gravity of the situation, particularly the Chinese community. People have been good with social distancing and so forth. But BC Parks should have closed sooner, Bonnie Henry should not have been encouraging people to "continue to go to Whistler", and so forth.

I disagree. Globally, it's pretty solidly in the "did sensible things, had better results" column along with NZ.

Certainly not perfect, of course.

You do need to evaluate that 7x in the light of the exponential growth we’re seeing in other areas.
