Update for the continents:

South America is trending just above North America and should soon break clear ahead.

South America: 156% week over week, doubling time of 11 days.
Africa: 128% week over week, doubling time just under 20 days.
Asia: 125% week over week, doubling time of 22 days.
North America: 103% week over week, doubling time of 192 days.
Europe: 77% week over week, halving time just under 19 days.

The world as a whole is growing 112% week over week, doubling time of 42 days.
Yesterday set a new record for total cases in one day 107,716


I added USA to the different strategies graph for comparison with Brazil

Brazil will soon overtake the USA in reported cases per day.
China and Australia are under 10 cases a day.
South Korea holding steady around 20 cases a day.
Japan just under 50 cases per day.
Canada refuses to go below 1,000 cases a day.

A closer look at the week over week changes

USA and Canada are getting awfully close back to growth again.

USA week over week 3 day average 97.4% (Rt of about 0.98)
Canada week over week 3 day average 94.7% (Rt of about 0.96)
Iran still growing steadily, currently 127% week over week, doubling time of 20 days.
Brazil still wildly fluctuating in updates, 161% week over week 7 day average, doubling time of 10 days.
Japan halving their reported cases week over week.

Locally Ontario grew for the 5th day in a row.
Current 3 day average of 118% week over week (Rt of about 1.13) doubling time just under 30 days.
Hopefully we'll be in decline long before any chance of doubling again...
Yesterday also had 2 new cases in my local county.
