Germany saw a decrease of 24% in new infections week over week from 4.7k to 3.6k.
Numbers in 14 out of 16 federal states declined but two of them increased by 30-45% which is somewhat concerning.
Testing capacity for the past week will be revealed tomorrow. Doubt it will change much.

Yep this virus is wierd, for some time I thought maybe this virus doesn't spread fast as first thought. But look at Iran, Brazil, Russia, India and Pakistan it's spreading really fast. At the same time things looking good in Germany and Denmark. There must be something random that causes this virus to spread super fast.

And ofc things not looking good in Canada and California, despite ongoing lockdown their cases is just not coming down.

Living conditions play a big factor.  It is spreading like crazy in Brazil's slums which majority of people don't even have running water.  Plus they are packed together.  Brazil's president doesn't care for any shutdowns either and social distancing isn't promoted by the government.
