4 new cases and zero deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.339% and active cases fall to 120.

The UK had 2,919 new cases yesterday as the 2nd wave continues to spiral out of control. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore those figures.

Just over 35k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,208 deaths sees CMR rise to 2.981% and active cases drop to 38.3% with the raw numbers still dropping. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.
