Weekly report

World wide reported cases and deaths grew further, 1.81 million new cases last week and 40.0K new deaths.
+8.5% on average for the week, trending down a bit to +2.5% for the past 3 days.

The USA turned reported cases growth around right after switching to HHS reporting. -3.6% for the week.
Reported deaths keep climbing, 7677 last week vs 6385 the week before (5423 the week before that) back to early May levels.

Europe is steadily climbing into a second wave, +16% growth for the week.
Reported deaths have stopped declining in Europe, 2351 last week vs 2325 the week before (2619 the week before that)


The rest of the continents

North / South America and Asia virtually tied at the top.
Africa slowed down a little while Europe caught back up.
Oceania is now higher than its first wave.


Around the world

USA declining again since HHS took over, Brazil is getting more unstable in reporting while India keeps climbing steadily.
South Africa might have hit a test cap, the numbers are fluctuating a lot atm, could be a peak maybe.
Iran's heavily filtered data is starting to creep back up again.
Japan and Australia both beat their previous out breaks and have both passed Canada, even China is getting up there again.
Only South Korea is still managing their case load, can't get rid of it, but still hovering around the 50 per day.


Europe is detail

Basically everyone is back on the rise while Eastern Europe never got through the first wave.
And Sweden, who knows what exactly goes on there.

Schools to re-open in 2 weeks in The Netherlands, same as in Canada, full classes, minimal measures. Good luck...
