World update. Week over week the daily reported cases have been growing again for the past 3 days, 105.7% average week over week growth.

The USA and Europe keep trading places for reported cases and are virtually reporting the same amount of deaths.
Both are declining. On average Europe is at 80.6% of last weeks cases, the USA at 94.5%.
The USA is currently trending back towards growth while Europe is declining faster.

Comparing the continents

Europe has fallen to the 4th spot for daily reported cases, overtaken by Asia and Brazil.
NA leads, currently outpacing Europe by 7.5K cases daily with a 86.5K gap remaining in total reported cases between the two continents.

Current 3 day average worldwide is 88.9K new cases each day.
North America 29.6%  (USA 24.8%)
Asia 22.9%
South America 22.6%
Europe 21.2%
Africa 3.8%
Oceania 14 cases per day

Corners of the world

Japan is doing excellent, joining South Korea and Australia in the no Covid holding pattern.
Canada is slowly going down, Iran slowly growing, Brazil needs to do something.

Looking at week over week growth in detail

While USA and Canada are both still declining week over week, the margin by how much is getting slimmer and slimmer.
Actually today Ontario basically already failed phase 1, 109% week over week growth, hopefully a temporary outlier.
Japan is the winner, soon too few cases to track in the graph like Australia and South Korea.
Iran currently growing 127% week over week, that's 1.035x per day, or a doubling time of just over 20 days.
