At least this one doesn't include the case fatality rate which is the biggest bullshit number of them all. If nothing else, this pandemic has shown that bad data is so much worse than no data.
Edited to add: The daily statistic by population ratio is very spiky, and gets spikier the smaller the country is, which makes it hilariously useless. A rolling average would improve that a bit, but remember that some countries might be off with a factor of 2x or 3x when it comes to reported deaths, which is an insane level of uncertainty.
