What's this?

Um, all of them relative to us. Look at our case and death curve compared

to every single developed country in the world. Be it Europe or Asia. Some managed it very well from the get go (South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Iceland, New Zealand, etc) while some got slammed initially, BUT responded and now have both cases and deaths under control and life has returned more to normal (pretty much every country in Europe).
