Data valid as at 23:59 GMT October 21st, 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.

15 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR drops to 3.298% while active cases drop to 1,392. NSW recorded 10 cases, WA & SA had 1 each with the balance in Victoria.

The Victorian State 14 day moving average is down to 6.79 with metro falling to 6.1 (10 unknown) and regional at 0.4 with no unknown cases (including today). Victoria reported 5 new cases for the last 24 hours.

25 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.308% and active cases rise to 56.

The UK had a new record 26,687 new cases yesterday, some 5k more than the previous high a day earlier. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore the CMR but even using their method they recorded 191 deaths.

Just over 62k new cases in the USA yesterday and 952 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.654% and active cases steady at to 32.3% with the raw numbers rising and still over 2.7M. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Worth noting that today is already looking worse with >1k deaths.
