They seem to alter it every day now, it stood at 6826 yesterday at the roll over.
It was an adjustment in South America, likely Brazil.

Thus 7,034 total for yesterday, a few less than a week ago at 7109 (July 22)
April 17th recorded 8,672 deaths in one day.

I wouldn't agree with that statement. The numbers for July 22 were inflated due to South Africa and India adding previous deaths on that day. Almost 400 extra for South Africa and another 400-ish extra for India.

I'm very sure yesterday was the highest since that day in April.

Brazil was inflated due to Sao Paolo missing the day before, although that was 'only' 300 extra compared to the week before.
Reported deaths increased by 10% last week, will it be more or less this week :/
So far this week is tracking slightly below last week, but the two big hitters (Thursday and Friday) are still incoming.

But indeed, April 21st was the last time it went above 7K, technically not beat yet due to Brazil adjustments. Not that that's anything to feel good about :/
