UAE have had less than 800 deaths for a population of 6M excluding tourists. 96% of death's had underlying illnesses which they were receiving ongoing treatment.
Plus it's open to everyone so no issue with virus spreading, they have put measures in place.
All these travel bans is because people who can
work from anywhere are starting to look at new options. UAE is looking a lot better than the UK. The restrictions currently in the UK mean you can only go to the supermarket.
Workforce who lost their jobs and some who quit especially the under 30's who are skilled in IT can live in Dubai and get work in the UK. Lead some sort of normal life and the weather is much better.
All that is going on is to keep Europeans in as the majority of the world is getting back to normal.
I was thinking hard to decide to answer but here it is:
1. Who talked about the number of death? Only you. I talked about the number of infections - "Indeed not everywhere is it like that. Just talk to the UAE. They opened their doors to tourists before Christmas, and the number of new infection started to grow exponentially in the beginning of January."
Speaks for itself, doesn't it?
2. You did not mention what kind of data you talk aboiut when you wrote "2. Data is key as always."
What kind of data are you talking about? I did not mention anything related to data.
Now you talk about death rate which in the UAE is quite incomparable to other developed countries. 90% of the population is foreign, and by far the average age is much lower as the UAE sends away older foreign workers instead of spending money on their healthcare like in nearly every other country. Still, you did not even say anything what do you mean by Data is key always.

You wrote: "The wall is actually built to keep people in and not out.
I answered: "Which wall? EU governments want some breathing room till they get enough vaccines for their population for herd immunity. Do you say that
Germany which has announced not to allow South Africans and British to bring the triple-dangerous virus is doing it to keep Germans in and not the South Africans out? Or what is your concept? Come on please...."
You wrote as an answer: "All these travel bans is because people who can work from anywhere are starting to look at new options."
Now of course you are entitled to your opinion but do you seriously think that lockdowns are due to the fact the freelancers want to work somewhere else and the authorities rather close their countries causing huge damages just to keep the freelancers at home?
You wrote: "All that is going on is to keep Europeans in as the majority of the world is getting back to normal." What about Australia or
New Zealand? Trying to lock their people in just for the sake of ruling them or trying not to invite virusholders from abroad(SA, UK etc)?
You did not answer my question: " EU governments want some breathing room till they get enough vaccines for their population for herd immunity. Do you say that Germany which has announced not to allow South Africans and British to bring the triple-dangerous virus is doing it to keep Germans in and not the South Africans out?"
Data: The draconian lockdown countries have also rising numbers.
I assume you live in eu from your writing. Germany?
"The draconian lockdown countries have also rising numbers."
Statistically and mathematically what you say is meaningless. Which country, by what ratio, by how much, what is the time frame you are looking at etc etc.
"I assume you live in eu from your writing. Germany?"
I live in the EU, but not in Germany. Believe me I want to travel, between 2013-2019 I flew 190,000m a year on average. I am running a multinational group of companies and should visit my colleagues regularly (in the UAE also) but I think it is very irresponsible to encourage people to travel, to spread their viruses all over the world. For exactly the same reason I am not visiting my mother of 78, as I do not want her to be infected by me, to get ill and die with a high probability.
And yes, I do not want the new mutant virus-holders to come into my region. They should stay at home, infecting their own people not me.
