And since we're still going full bore we'll fall past most of those other countries who are mostly past this.

I throw this at people when they point out how countries like France, Italy, and Spain have more deaths per million people. Yeah, they got hit hard early, now they are past it, and we are already behind 206 other countries on that metric, so what's the point in bringing it up, that we're really awful, but a hand full of countries are still worse?
