A look at the different strategies graph

Brazil is out of control, starting to chase the USA for it's daily numbers. over 15K new cases yesterday and over 800 deaths daily.
Iran is slowly growing again, Canada has been flat for the past couple days.
Japan is still heading in the right direction while South Korea and now Australia have/had a slight uptick.
China, who knows, they had a bit higher numbers now back posting a couple cases a day.

Week over week comparison shows USA and Canada being on a steady slight decline

USA 89.4%, Canada 82.1% of daily reported cases week over week.
Europe is down to 80.4% week over week while the world as a whole is currently declining by 1.5% week over week (98.5% of last weeks numbers)

South America and Europe are currently virtually tied in daily reported case numbers thanks to the big surge in Brazil. Percentage of daily cases:

World 3 day average: 94,658 daily reported cases
North America: 30.9% (USA 26.6%)
Europe: 23.1% (Russia 10.8%)
South America: 23.0% (Brazil 14.3%)
Asia: 19.9% (India 4.0%)
Africa: 3.1% (South Africa 0.8%)

The USA still over a quarter of all reported cases, Russia almost half of Europe while Brazil is responsible for over 60% of South America.

The sharp increase started from March 14th. That while the game is buggier than ever :/ I'm hardly playing it anymore since PD broke the penalty system beyond redemption. Yet with this kind of feedback, why fix it :/ (I used to race almost 3 hours a day before the pandemic)
