Wednesday is usually the day with the highest newly reported #Covid19 cases in the #UK, but numbers are down today, indeed by 27%.
However, I believe it's probably a blip and we may see higher numbers tomorrow and/or Friday.
But Covid deaths continue to fall. From 199 to 164

#Sweden has reported another high #Covid19 deaths today - 131 fatalities.
Many likely dying "with Covid" but there are 3.4% excess deaths so far in 2022 (credit @dobssi).
However, also must point out in much of the pandemic there were fewer than usual deaths.

#Finland reports lower cases and deaths today compared to last Wednesday. Recently the #Covid19 death rate reached record levels, but still low compared to much of Europe.
However new research into excess deaths shows Covid deaths likely at least double.

No surprise to see #NewZealand setting another record and breaking 3,000 cases in a single day for the first time.
3,183 is the number of new #Covid19 cases. That's almost exactly 2000 higher than last Wednesday. So still quite a way to go until we reach peak.

I reported here that #Poland's cases started falling a while ago. Today confirmation the death rate's heading down too. Wednesday usually the worst day for reporting of #Covid19 fatalities and 360 more today, but that's 14 fewer than last week and the 2nd successive fall.
#Iceland's still heading up, with an infection rate of over 5,300 AD/M (Average daily cases per million people).
That means 3.7% of the entire population has been infected with #Covid19 in the last week.
2,689 new cases up 200, but could see record 3k tomorrow.
