And they'd still be wrong if they did.

7,564 positive cases (-11.1%) with 1,101k tests (+11.6%).

On average there were 1,081 positive cases a day (or 1,261 if you discard Sunday).

228 in ICU (+0.0%)

Finally a week that can be considered as good. Cases dropped by 11% while testing capacity increased by almost 12%. Positivity rate is now only 0.74% which is the 4th lowest value. We're closing in on the testing capacity limit which is around 1.3m to 1.4m tests/week. On the flipside, some labs have reached their limit already. This week, about 35k samples couldn't be tested.

Another increase in positive cases from abroad but the rate at which it's rising is slowing down considerably.
#1 Kosovo - 2,946 (+17%)
#2 Croatia - 2,639 (+47%)
#3 Turkey - 1,825 (+15%)

India just keeps going up. They could soon be at 100k cases per day.

Less than half the tests the US has run too, and found like 65%+ of the cases too.
Its gonna keep going up, also I think in india there are probably alot more unknown infected than in the US
(people that needed a test but arnt getting it).

That said the US isn't looking great either, its over 191,000 deaths now.
Still around ~1100 people dieing each day (confirmed) (actual number likely higher).

By the time you guys hold your election, I wouldn't be surprised if that number is 250,000-300,000.

Also US numbers since the HHS under trump whitehouse took controll of the reporting of numbers.... arnt as trustworthy as when the CDC used to do it. Its been suggested that the US numbers are manipulated to look better than they are.

Just posting some things I've noticed recently.

- the US will reach 200k deaths soon (1 1/2 weeks)
- India keeps increasing steadily (infection-wise, deaths are pretty much flat)
- France reported more than 7k infections for each of the past 2 days. The current wave is bigger than their first wave. Out of the 300k cases, they added 100k during the past month. It looked liked France was always a little behind in testing, but this seems to have improved.
- the US has overtaken Sweden in deaths/capita, Brazil will overtake Italy later this day.

Germany seems to be on recovery again, which is great to see. Might be one of the very few countries where the second wave wasn't bigger than the first.

New worldwide peak today.

France and Spain worry me.... looking at daily grow over the last two weeks that looks like exponential growth to me.
They clearly have a new outbreak (a 2nd wave) and need to do something to fight it just like the first wave (potentially another lockdown).
