*** BREAKING ***
The global record of 643,000 new #Covid19 cases in a day has been beaten again. It's now 654,000
And #USA has yet again smashed the world record for a single country. Yesterday it was just over 160,000, but now it's an astonishing 181,000

Good news for #Germany
They managed to just avoid a new national #Covid19 record by just 250 cases.
Just 4% up on the same time last week, and with cases dropping off over the weekend, I am certain Germany won't set a new record now.

#Bulgaria saw a rise in new #Covid19 cases overnight
There were 4,212 new infections, just 180 below the country's record. Bulgaria continues to bounce around at, or near, record highs, and needs to push infections down with better testing before it takes a hold again

It's also reflected in the health data, with ICU beds in use in the Czech Republic down 134 from peak

#USA
#USA infection rate (new #Covid19 cases) are up 50% in just over eight days.
If the U.S. continues at this rate of growth (and right now it is INCREASING), the daily case number will be close to 400,000 by the end of the month

USA's already become 1st country to pass 1/4 of a million dead by now, but won't be confirmed officially until later

At last!
It shouldn't be a relief to see the next President say this, it's obligatory. It's so damn obvious yet the incumbent has said & done virtually nothing to stop this killer disease

#Ukraine has another record-breaking figure for new #Covid19 infections. 12,524 is today's all-time high, around 15% higher than last Saturday
#Ukraine is now supposed to be in a weekend lockdown. However many places are in open rebellion
Here L'viv leader Sadoviy rules weekends are now weekdays! Businesses don't have to close.

The Dakotas are a disaster zone. 56% positive #Covid19 test rate in SD and the Governor does nothing saying "trust the data"!
Meanwhile in ND you can work on a Covid ward even if you're infected because they're so short of staff

#Belgium continues the decline.
However there is now enough testing data to explain the fall in more detail.
First new data: 4,619 new #Covid19 cases (8703 last Sat)
However TRUE: there is a lot less testing so there will be fewer infections identified...

#Belgium has effectively cut volume of tests by half
This should result in a higher test positive %, but the rate is also falling
New #Covid19 cases are falling much quicker than the rate of testing
Conclusion:
Lockdown working
Cases falling, but not as quickly as figs suggest

#Georgia (country, not state - I realise I've written a lot about both recently!)
For the 11th time in 12 days Georgia has set a new national record for new #Covid19 infections.
3,504 new cases today and the infection rate is now up to 781 AD/M

#Russia also sets a new national record: 22,702 new #Covid19 infections
However if comparing Russian data with others please remember it's still very suspicious both in terms of reports "on the ground" and the data itself (uniformity, correlation between cases/deaths etc)

#Poland shows another drop in new #Covid19 cases today
25,571 infections, down from 27,875 last Saturday
However only 56,000 tests (+ve rate 45.7%)
Last Sat the PL govt reported 66,800 tests (41.7%)
So we prove Poland is NOT improving the situation

#Poland's apparent policy change will cause problems as they try to get positive media
Complacency is one, while death rates will continue to rise.
Today a record 548 #Covid19 deaths
In Belgium strict lockdown and case decline were already happening before cut in tests

#Hungary is on the brink of 'turning the tide' against #Coronavirus
A decent fall in cases today with 4,836 new #Covid19 infections (5,318 last Sat). The strict lockdown starts to work
However 107 deaths in the last 24 hours equals the country's record

After a couple of wobbles, #Slovakis is now at its lowest infection rate since 23 October.
1,771 new #Covid19 cases is a cut by around a third on this time last week

#Croatia in a tricky place right now.
#Covid19 infections are definitely heading up again - but that could just be because of a similar increase in testing
2,866 new cases today (2,399 last Sat). But the positive test rate is 29.8%

Finally, doctors in #Belarus smash the #Coronavirus lies of the regime
Belarus Ministry of Health claims only 6 people died in last 24 hours
Doctors' Telegram channel "belxalat" finds 6 #Covid19 patients died in one hospital alone
17 have died in 6 hospitals they've got data for

Daily infection totals in #Belarus also show a new record.
But the total of 1,248 new #covid19 cases is still thought to be massively under-reported, ditto the deaths (see previous tweet)

#Netherlands sees another fall in new #Covid19 cases, but much lower than recent falls. Hopefully it's just a small anomaly with figures which happens regularly, but worth keeping an eye on.
Today's total is 5,914 which is only 10% lower than last Saturday's total.

Another national record for #Serbia today.
Very much expected, and the increase on last Saturday is
again well over 40%
3,822 new #Covid19 cases announced today.
My projections show 4,000 midweek next week and maybe 5,000 at the weekend

Europe's most infected nation, #Austria, has also seen a fall in cases compared to a week ago today.
8,241 cases last Saturday, while today only 7,063 new #Covid19 infections.
However I don't think they're on the home straight yet, cases are slowing but not convinced it's over

#Greece has announced that #Coronavirus has been found among mink in its country too.
A few days ago #Denmark culled all the country's mink after it was found a new variant was capable of passing from mink back to people.

32,095 new #Covid19 cases today - last Saturday was an artificially high 86,852. But it's helped France cut infection rates from 650 to 450 in just two days.
