Data valid as at 23:59 GMT December 4th, 2020.

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting.

10 new cases for Australia and 0 deaths so the CMR drops to 3.249%. NSW recorded 6 cases and the Queensland/WA recorded 2 each.

No new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.208% and active cases drop to 61.

The UK had a higher 16,298 cases yesterday. 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 504 deaths.

Just over 220.5k new cases in the USA yesterday and 2,920 deaths sees CMR drop to 1.946% and active cases rise to 39.2% with the raw numbers rising and now over 5.6M. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Both the case and mortality numbers set new recorded highs (again).
