Tuesday's #coronavirus thread starts early, with some important data...

#Germany records over 3,000 cases in a day for the first time since 17 April. #Berlin up to 40/100,000 infection rate.

In the past week, #Czechia has seen number of #Covid19 patients in hospital rise by 50%. The number in ICU has increased over 40%
Today a new all-time record number of deaths in a day: 31 (previous record just 24)

And still daily cases rise. 3,120 (150% higher than last week)

#USA cases up yet again compared to last Monday.
Looks like it'll finish around 10% higher, pushing the infection rate back up a notch. Now at almost 134 AD/M

#Ukraine comes close to breaking its record, with another 4,348 new #Covid19 cases.
Tuesdays are usually lower, suffering a little from the weekend lag. Today's number is 721 higher than last week.

Ukraine's heading to a new record this week, and may breach the 5,000 mark

#Ukraine's also had 90 deaths today - its second worst ever toll during the #coronavirus pandemic.
The 7-day avg of fatalities is now at an all-time high here too, with over 450 dying from #Covid19 in a week.

Heads may roll in #Russia - an apparent case of #Glasnost

A state body says #Covid19 deaths are more than DOUBLE officially reported number.
The figure of 45,663 would move Russia from the "made up stats" category into the believable.

Watch out for #Belgium this week. Just over a week ago its record for daily #Covid cases was just over 2,000.
Perhaps suffering from being surrounded by the French and Dutch, I can see Belgium smashing through the 4,000 mark this week and maybe 5,000 soon.
Deaths already rising
