The USA surpassed 1M cases last night but even their CMR dropped to 5.598%.

Globally, the total of cases passed the 3M mark with an average CMR of 6.9%.

Only two charts today. Cases and deaths per 100k of population for selected countries. In the first chart (cases) we have a very wide range of results. Colombia the lowest (14.3/100k) while Australia, NZ and Brazil are all under 50/100k. At the other end of the scale, Spain (594.38), Italy (540.48) and Belgium (504.3) are all over 500/100k which is 0.5%. The global average is 54.5.

In terms of mortalities per 100k, Australia leads the way with 0.488 with NZ (0.518), Colombia (0.649) and Russia (0.679) all below 1.
At the bad end of the scale we have Belgium (77.84), Italy (73.11) and Spain (60.94) all over 50. The global average is 3.765

I'm not exactly sure what to make of it but the three countries with the highest case rates also have the highest mortality rates so whether that is a sign of their health systems not coping or other factors is hard to say.

Disclaimer: The numbers above may not represent the best and worst of all countries as it is extracted from the subset of countries with reasonably high case numbers and there may well be others that are better or worse.
As long as we are beating the Kiwis nothing else matters.
