#USA continues to surge - initial figures for Sunday not yet in (this total always increases anyway when regions which didn't report over the weekend add their data)

..it's the first time since July #Florida hit 10k, and for the last 3 months FLA has not even touched 7,000
Today #USA should experience a total of between 158,000 and 180,000 cases as it edges towards 200k in the coming days. I'm predicting 172,000 by the end of the day

#Belgium continues to reduce figures with 4,659 new #Covid19 infections detected, almost 2,000 down on last Monday.
But even today's rate alone is equivalent to 280/100,000 or 400 AD/M which causes concern about what happens if/when Brussels eases restrictions
