Yet America was at 46,042 dail cases of covid19. Theres a good chance the real number is 50,000+, ei flordia alone is missing 3000-4000 cases reported. I dont think the USA has ever been above 50k has it? Brazil has done it once (where it added up some weeks old cases ontop of another day). I think its a new record, 1st nation to get 50k cases daily. |
Nope, USA's peak so far was 47,341, last Friday.
Brazil had that 55.2K peak after only reporting 23K the day before.
The single day record for the world is 181,005 (June 19th) which will soon be beat, either today or tomorrow.
Sweden's numbers are even more messed up now, worldometer started following their strategy to also cast reported deaths into the past. I guess they don't report the deaths until confirmed for covid-19 days later? The effect is that the 7 day average is not 'stable' until over 2 weeks after. So now reported cases lag up to a week behind (also no reporting from Friday to Monday), reported deaths up to 16 days (with 7 day average). The effect is that when ever you look at the graphs they always end near the bottom, suggesting all is going great...
Moving reported deaths around and changing what 'counts' is happening a lot atm. I don't trust many countries' numbers much anymore. I guess there is too much at stake for honest reporting.
Here Toronto is now making mask mandatory in indoor spaces, yet at the same time the health ministry is saying it's not necessary
Toronto city council approved a bylaw Tuesday that makes face coverings mandatory in indoor public spaces.
Ontario's health ministry has rejected a call by some municipal leaders for a provincial mandatory mask policy, saying it "isn't necessary" to require all residents to wear face masks when they are indoors in public spaces in large urban centres.
But they say it would have helped earlier...
These conflicting messages only make things worse. If it would have helped earlier, it would help now to prevent or slow down a resurgence. It's not gone, it's still moving around within the younger population. Less symptoms, less go get tested... In the mean time Doug Ford is ready to move onto the phase 3 of re-openings.
Air Canada laid off 20,000 workers and stopped service to 8 cities as well as suspended 30 regional routes. And while Canadians are now welcome again in Europe, Canada still keeps its borders closed to all foreign travelers until July 31st (USA until July 21st for now, separate arrangement...) The government still advises everyone to avoid all non-essential travel outside of the country.
