Summary:
US and UK: Still on the plateau.
Spain: Active cases rising again.
Italy, France & Germany: Having better luck
Canada & Sweden: Bad times ahead.
The US: New cases and new deaths remain elevated with no significant sign of decline. It's a big country, and it looks like it's going to take a long time to make the ship change course.
Spain: Active cases once again ticked above the 100,000 mark, after three straight days of high rates of new cases. Spain is having difficulty getting those numbers down.
Italy: Having better luck than Spain. Active cases are in decline, as are deaths and new cases.
France: It looks like France is flattening the curve but there is a persistent level of new cases and active cases are actually still rising.
Germany: The only country in Europe where things are unambiguously going right.
The UK: Still on the plateau with new cases still increasing. Active cases still increasing. Seems to be at the peak, and staying there.
Turkey: Now technically worse than Iran, based on the number of total cases. But the curve is flattening.
Iran: Just 1,030 new cases yesterday. But do we believe these numbers?
Canada: Situation bad. New cases only growing and no sign of flattening the curve. At 173, second-highest death toll was yesterday.
Sweden: 751 new cases yesterday — a new high. Deaths are also trending up (although clearly there are some weekend reporting issues). Sweden is still on the upside of the curve.
