No new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.402% and active cases drop to 23.

The UK recorded 950 new cases and 49 deaths yesterday so the CMR drops to 15.063%.

Just over 55k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,311 deaths sees CMR down to 3.249% and active cases at 45.7% with the raw numbers rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

The USA completes 63M, India 22M, France 3M and Pakistan 2M tests;
