"I included cases on South Africa's graph because they're one of the only countries where the death rate is still climbing. This is weird, because they were the first country to experience that variant."

Its seasonal so with a different climate imo it makes sense it has a different graph.

Whatever you do, don't do what they're doing! Those countries have the perfect recipe to get citizens killed by Covid-19."

Did you look at the absolute numbers or the percentages? Cause the percentages doesn't really difference significant from each other. Neither did some of their policies.

I think most difference in numbers comes form different criteria when it comes to examining the deaths. I heard Belgium was quicker to state it as a corona death than we the Dutch. So yes they have higher numbers but i dont think you can say they did worse.
