The UAE?

300 new cases / day, 5500 active cases, and 2 deaths / day, for a country with 10M people. (3 new cases / day, 55 active cases, 0.02 deaths / day, per 100,000.)

Compared with, say, the US: 112,000 new cases / day, 9,800,000 active cases, 2000 deaths / day. (34 new cases / day, 3000 active cases, 0.6 deaths / day, per 100,000.)

I'd say you're in better shape than we are.

This always makes me laugh. The virus comes in waves and someone will point out one country is doing “better” when it’s just the fact the country is past the latest wave.

I even saw different regions of my country do this. Fast forward 2 months and the situations are reversed and so is the finger pointing.

It’s absurd.
