30 new cases for Australia and 3 deaths so the CMR rises to 3.170% while active cases drop to 1,870. NSW recorded 2 cases and Queensland recorded 3 with the balance in Victoria. The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 36.71 with metro at 29.4 (41 unknown) and regional at 1.1 and no unknown cases.

No new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.377% and active cases fall to 61.

The UK had 4,926 new cases yesterday, the highest since early May. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore those figures.

Just under 53k new cases in the USA yesterday and 384 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.8962% and active cases drop to 36.2% with the raw numbers rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
North America passes 300k deaths;
The USA completes 99M and India 65M tests;

The Netherlands (2,245) and Spain (10,799) both recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.
