Victoria also surpassed the benchmark for the highest number of daily cases in the country with 288 compared to the 212 in NSW on March 28th but the overall National total is still well below the 537 peak of 22nd March.

2 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.427% and active cases drop to 23.

The UK recorded 512 new cases and 48 deaths yesterday so the CMR drops to 15.496%.

Just over 61k new cases in the USA yesterday and 960 deaths sees CMR down to 4.218% and active cases at 51.6% but the raw numbers are rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences but today is already looking to be worse.

Other notable points:
Global cases set a new high for the 2nd consecutive day with 230,525 ;
The USA had a 2nd consecutive day with over 60k new cases;
South America passes 100k deaths;
Asia records a new daily high of 55,523 cases;
North America records a new daily high of 78,220 cases and after some recalculations the prior two days were also both new highs;

Lebanon (71), Libya (86), El Salvador (=298); Kenya (473), Oman (1,889), Iraq (2,848), Colombia (6,803), Mexico (7,280) and India (27,761)recorded new daily highs, those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

Those figures in the US can't be correct. Donald said yesterday it would be all over in 3 or 4 weeks............
