There is no denying that we're not doing enough to stop this virus.

Avg growth in reported cases was +10.5% for the week compared to last week. Over 1.5 million new cases were reported last week, average of 221.3K daily. Reported deaths have also started rising again, 35 thousand deaths last week, just over 5,000 per day.

The USA continues to climb sharply, +23.8% for the week compared to last week. Just over 471K new cases last week, avg 67.3K daily.
Reported deaths are also climbing, 5,423 last week (4575 the week before), avg 775 daily.

Europe is also climbing again, +3.9% for the week compared to last week, 91.4K new cases last week, avg 13,052 per day.
Reported deaths are still slowly declining, 2619 last week compared to 2732 the week before. 374 daily last week.

The other continents

North America ahead and growing +20.6% compared to last week.
Asia barely ahead of South America, growing at +7.8% compared to last week.
South America stabilized, +1.7% avg growth for the week, ending at -0.9% compared to last Friday.
Africa is also slowing down a bit, still +12.3% growth compared to last week.
Oceania, or rather Australia is dealing with a big outbreak, over 60% growth compared to last week.

Around the world

USA clear ahead, Brazil stabilized, slight decline compared to last week.
India and South Africa continue growing, Iran slightly down.
Canada is also climbing up again, +19.3% avg for the week compared to last week.
Japan is having a big new wave, might even become bigger than the last one. Same for Australia :/
South Korea stabilized but can't get back down. China popped back up last day of the week.


A closer look at Europe, 3-day average reported cases

Spain is surging back up, big new wave.
Most are heading back up, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark all climbing.
Sweden's data has become so messed up I quit tracking it for now. The last official update was July 2nd and every day cases disappear / get redistributed making it look like the pandemic is over. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/
Russia is also suspect, so steady as if they are reporting a 7 day avg every day.
Romania is another hot spot, in between the Ukraine and the UK for new cases daily, stable atm.

Reported deaths are still heading in the right direction on average, it will take at least a few weeks before any new rise in cases has an effect.


In Canada face masks are now mandatory in Quebec to slow the recent growth in cases. In Ontario it's up to the counties to decide. It's mandatory in my county, but not in the ones right next to us. It was very busy yesterday, first day restaurants etc are open again for inside eating. With the hot weather and humidity (feels like 36c, going up to 39c today) I doubt people will stay on the safer patios outside :/

Over 14 million reported cases to date and passing 600k reported deaths in a few hours :(

I did some research the other day on Spain and while their official numbers weren't that great, they were nowhere near ~1400 cases in one day.

Closer to ~600/day.

I also read on Worldometer that they are combining results of PCR and antibody tests, which could explain the difference. But those people are no longer infectious and thus the numbers probably look more worrying than they really are.

The past three days haven't been that great either in Germany. Around 500 cases a day. Definitely going up a little.
