"Turn off the news" is a piece about, well, you know about what.
Cambodia had no lockdown, no social distancing, and hardly anyone wears a mask.

The irony is that VOA (Voice of America, wikipedia: "Voice of America (VOA) is a U.S.multimedia agency which serves as the United States government institution for non-military, external broadcasting. It is the largest U.S. international broadcaster.") terms Cambodia's as "being lucky".
Excerpts:
""Cambodia did screw up in every way," said Greg Poling, a senior research fellow for Southeast Asia and director of maritime initiative at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), in an interview with VOA Khmer. "Cambodia refused to restrict travel from China. Hun Sen largely ignored the virus and downplayed it. There is very low capacity for testing and treatment. I think the result is half simple luck … that Cambodia's neighbors were so effective. "
"In fact, Cambodia was slow to act as the virus began spreading out of China early this year. In mid-February, when cruise ships were turning out to be floating incubators of the disease, Prime Minister Hun Sen made a public show of welcoming more than 2,200 passengers aboard the MS Westerdam who had been refused entry by other countries. "
"With only 141 confirmed cases this year and zero reported deaths, Cambodia has one of the world's most enviable records for containing the virus and the disease it causes, COVID-19. But independent experts say that has more to do with good luck and long-established cultural habits than with government policies. "
"Despite Cambodia's weak health infrastructure, it was not until mid-March, when the virus started to hit hard in Europe and the United States, that Hun Sen introduced strict measures including a shutdown of schools and entertainment clubs. Since then, there have been few new cases and most of those infected have recovered, leaving only 12 patients still in hospitals, according to the health ministry. "
""I would say [that is] almost certainly an undercount," said Dr. W. Courtland Robinson, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in an interview with VOA Khmer.
"That's a system that does not know how to do proper diagnosis of COVID-19 because doctors and nurses aren't seeing very much of it," he said. "They may say that it's pneumonia, and that's something else." "
