Corners of the world

South Korea is also seeing another resurgence, deaths are rising as well yet still far below their earlier peak in March.
China still struggling to squash their latest outbreak.

Not much data locally, just the latest wastewater surveillance from August 10th showing an uptick.

The good news, we might finally get some rain tonight. It's been months for any decent rain, doesn't look like it will last tonight but its something. All the trees are dropping leaves here, starting to look like fall already. The silver lining, I have mowed the grass only once this summer.
