I am going to put these in order as best I can so I have a record of what our world looked like here. This is my interpretation of what I feel like is important to remember I may have missed things so feel free to remind me, some I have taken out purposely since this is public and I don't need to be in trouble for sharing too much. Saudi has been very proactive on controlling Covid and as a result our death rate is very very very low.
