Thanks for the input. This is not about "other countries" in the general sense. Yes, there's an abundance of information out there about other countries. The topic is the health effects in countries that have eased restrictions, i.e., the health consequences of relaxing lockdowns.

For instance, according to a Reuters article on 4/21, Iran reopened stores and lower risk businesses on 4/20. Poland reopened stores, beaches and parks on 4/19. Austria reopened stores on 4/14. Reports of their success in continuing to keep the virus at bay (or not) after taking these actions are highly anticipated to those of us who feel their experience can be instructive for our country.
