“We need FDR moments right now. We need fireside chats. We need somebody to tell America, ‘this is what in the hell is going to happen.’”

Comparing Oct. with Sept., half of American countries see increases in daily cases. Large increases are observed in Uruguay and Belize, mainly due to the low level of infection in Sept. US sees 50% more cases in Oct. than in Sept. Image
The largest ratio was observed in Canada due to its recent wave starting late Aug. The rise in Canadian cases are primarily in Quebec and Ontario. Image
Europe yesterday reported 238k cases, partly because several countries don't report cases on weekends. Russia saw a new high of 18,381, average daily death tolls are also at the country's highest level since the pandemic; over 300 per day. Image
