Back on topic, current trends

Daily reported cases is holding steady world wide while Europe and USA are slowly starting to decline.
Daily reported deaths are declining in Europe while corrections in the USA still drive it upwards.
However while Russia is now already contributing 20% to the daily reported cases in Europe, their reported deaths (<2% of Europe) still lag behind and can drive up the reported deaths in Europe in a week or so.

Closer look at Europe

Russia is now on top for adding new cases each day, edging out the UK.
France did a big drop after working through corrections.
Sweden is still holding steady but has a lot of variation in test results.
Austria continues to go down the fastest.

The UK has been testing fewer people for the last 3 days so it's not surprising that their numbers were slowly getting better.
