South Korea. Restaurants are fully open, cafe's are full, busses and trains are so packed during rush hour that you're pushed up against three or four other bodies that you'd prefer not to be so close and personal with.

Strictly speaking, yes there is a second wave. Many weeks ago it was <10 new cases/day, which has now climbed to a steady ~60 new cases/day.

But that number isn't exploding, it's been consistent for several weeks now. Nearly everyone goes about their daily lives, only that they all wear masks.
