41 new cases for Australia and 6 deaths sees the CMR rise to 3.057% and active cases drop to 2,298. NSW recorded 4 cases with the balance in Victoria. The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 62.29 with metro at 52.9 (82 unknown) and regional at 3.6 with only 1 unknown.

1 new cases and zero deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.335% and active cases fall to 96.

The UK had 2,631 new cases yesterday. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore those figures.

Just over 34k new cases in the USA yesterday and 392 deaths sees CMR fall to 2.958% and active cases drop to 37.8% with the raw numbers rising again. At least this last week has shown some improvement so there might be some light at the end of that tunnel. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
The USA completes 93M, India 57M and Spain 10M tests;
North America passes 8M cases;
North America joins South America with >50 deaths per 100k population;

Tunisia (378), Palestine (788) and Israel (4,764) all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.
