Weekly update, stagnation (good)

Sadly some macabre milestones were reached as well, over 2 million total reported deaths, Europe now over 600K, USA over 400K and close to 100K more deaths in a single week.

Last week a total of 4.95 million new cases were reported (slightly down from 4.98 million) to a total of 94,284,069
Also a record 95,718 more deaths were reported (up from 86,430) to a total of 2,016,632

Europe and USA are pretty much doing the same, growth slowed, USA down a bit, hopefully peaks reached.

Australia reported 94 new cases, no deaths
China locked down another city and is counting the damage

Europe in detail

We could have finally reached the actual 2nd peak, or it just appears so due to inflated post holiday numbers last week.
One to look out for is Spain, suddenly posting very high numbers (yet they keep adjusting them into the past like Sweden, hence not up to date) Today Spain posted just over 40K cases, in 4th after USA, Brazil and UK.
