71 new cases for Australia and 11 deaths sees the CMR rise to 2.854% while active drop to 3,129. NSW recorded 5 cases; Queensland & SA recorded 1 case each, with the balance in Victoria. The weekly total for Victoria was down another 32% to 637 while the number of deaths increased to 148 thanks mostly to the previously missed data.

3 new cases and 1 deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.358% and active cases rise to 112.

The UK had 1,813 new cases and as we know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines we are going to ignore those figures.

Just under 54k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,053 deaths sees CMR drop to 3.007% and active cases drop to 39.4% with the raw numbers actually dropping. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.
