Good evening,
The COVID-19 hot spots we have been monitoring are still very much out of control, yet again establishing daily reported infections records, as testing expands and the virus continues to devastate our planet. Brazil, Russia, India, Peru, Chile, Mexico, Pakistan, Qatar, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, and, of course, the United States are bringing us within a week of 7 million global infections and only a few days away from 400,000 deaths. Today's 126,014 new global infections built the highest report of the pandemic.

Sweden's government updated its coronavirus cases upward today with an explosion of cases. The country of 10.3 M, which did not impose a stay at home order, now has 40,803 cases and 4,542 COVID-19 deaths, compared to Portugal, a country of 10.6M, which imposed a Shelter In Place order, with 33,261 cases and 1,447 deaths. Earlier today, the BBC published an article entitled "
Coronavirus: Sweden's Tegnell admits too many died". Less deaths (4,421) have been reported in California, yet the huge west coast state has a population four times larger than Sweden's.

A first in North Carolina, the state had kept its daily new cases under 1,000, but today announced 1,199 new COVID-19 infections, joining three other states over the 1,000 mark: California (+2,258), Texas (+1,464), and Florida (+1,317). Combined with the other 46 states to keep the daily new infections count above 20,000 yet one more day, bringing the national total closer to 2 million coronavirus cases, a record we would rather avoid reaching most likely this coming Monday.
- COVID-19 USA cases: 1,901,688 (+20,731)
- COVID-19 USA deaths: 109,127 (+1,068)
- COVID-19 USA death rate: 5.74%
