Data valid as at 23:59GMT October 3rd, 2020.

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting except for the Victorian 14 day moving averages.

8 new cases for Australia and 3 deaths so the CMR rises to 3.293% while active cases drop to 1,378. NSW & WA recorded 1 case each with the balance in Victoria.

The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 12.86 with metro at 11.9 (13 unknown) and regional at 0.2 and no unknown cases. Victoria reported 12 new cases for the last 24 hours. The weekly total for Victoria of 74 is 30% down on the previous week and there were 3 fewer deaths with 23.

1 new case and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.352% and active cases drop to 41.

The UK had a slightly higher 7,070 new cases yesterday but also identified almost 5k cases that were missed ion the last week of October. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore the CMR.

Just over 54k new cases in the USA yesterday and 862 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.827% and active cases drop to 33.9% with the raw numbers rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
Global cases pass 35M with the last 1M taking only 3 days again;
The USA completes 110M, India 77M, Russia 47M and Turkey 10M tests;
Europe recorded a new daily case high of 66,507 (2/10);
