That's a great thing in my view normally, but it may well be one of the factors causing a problem currently. That said, Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and the Vale of Glamorgan are four of those seven Welsh regions that occupy the top eight of the UK infections per 100,000 people ratings and, from what I know, none of them have a similar attitude to the one you describe.
The stats for Wales are quite worrying. Today 76 more cases, majority in N Wales, but Cardiff and RCT featuring too.

In Scotland with roughly twice our population 29 cases, and they've been lower than us on a daily basis for a while.

Northern Ireland, with a similar population to Wales has about half the total number of cases.

The only positive is that our death rate is lowish, but that is little comfort as I'd prefer people didn't catch it in the first place.

Our record on testing is awful and our tracking and tracing non existent, so I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised about our transmission rate
