Cases have already been going down after the holiday peak, but yep seems this week is the peak in deaths. It looks to stay just under 100K for the week, but over the 95.7K of last week. Crazy, once 3,000 deaths (total) in China was worrying... Currently tracking nearly 100K a week. (October 16th was the lowest week with 36.4K)

Spain is still rapidly going up, don't they have a lock down? Spain was 3rd yesterday for new cases, behind USA and Brazil.

The UK strain of the virus thats 50-70% more infectious is worrying.
The South African one, that hits even younger crowds is worrying.
The Brazilian one, that seems to have mutated so much, that people that have already had covid19, and recovered, and have antibodies, are getting sick again...

Yep, 3k total used to be alot (caused people to worry).

Then it was the "holy sh*t" 1k pr day.
I remember when the USA hit 2k pr day... and people were saying, thats like 1 x 9/11 pr day in deaths.

Now everyday the US has 4k+, and its just basically ignored by media/news.

Its like that in the rest of the world too.
Virus is kicking our arses.

Welp

We joined the club, detecting a (possibly) new strain
https://www.cp24.com/news/covid-19-variant-detected-at-barrie-long-term-care-home-experiencing-significant-outbreak-1.5275289

Lab testing has confirmed a COVID-19 variant in six swabs from Roberta Place, a long-term care home in Barrie, Ont., that has been experiencing a deadly novel coronavirus outbreak, the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit has confirmed.

The variant strain testing is a two-part test, and at this time, the health unit says the first test indicates a “very high probability” that there’s a variant strain that’s of concern.

Not going well there

Cases are currently going down, under 3K per day again (was under 100 a day) but we obviously let it grow far too big before doing anything. Now everything is back in lock down, schools suspended until further notice. Schools were supposed to open again next week, yet yesterday the announcement came they will stay closed with no end date given. The line ups at the liquor stores after this news broke were epic haha.
