Specifically what was it that these compliant people were compliant with? I'm curious because it would be a model of what works and what we might be able to approach doing (with sufficient adherence). Wearing masks everywhere outside the house? 6-foot or more social distancing? Taking temperatures on entry to any building? Businesses set up for distancing, masks, whatever?

Coincidentally, a friend from my freshman dorm who works at a chip company in Taiwan texted me this article yesterday. He also texted me photos of a meal he enjoyed while dining out at a restaurant.

The article highlights strict GPS tracking of newly-arrived passengers, including sending police to find you within minutes if, say, you battery dies, and special quarantine taxis from the airport to your quarantine hotel; security at business and school entrances that check your temperature, and if you’re over 99.5, they contact the government and they need to see a doctor; and more ubiquitous use of masks and hand sanitizer.

The author speculates things like the entryway security checking temperatures and notifying the government as being unlikely to fly in the US. Maybe that’s an example where Americans would not be compliant, but I wish they could do that here. Although many cases are asymptomatic, I saw so many obviously sick people shambling about in the public in March. If faced with security guards who would check their temperature and narc on them to the health dept, maybe selfish sick people would have a stronger incentive to, as read by Samuel Jackson, “Stay the f**k at home.”
