"This Wednesday, Czech officials reported a new record number of daily coronavirus infections, with nearly 4,500 new cases. As of right now, that is the fastest spread of the virus across Europe." http://praguemonitor.com/2020/10/08/czech-republic-has-highest-virus-spread-europe
"The Czech Health Ministry claims that 4,457 patients tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, which is nearly 700 more than recorded during the previous record set last Friday."
"According to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the Czech Republic has 346.1 cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 residents over the past 14 days, even surpassing Spain, which has around 305.4 cases per 100,000, over the same period."
Still, for perspective, this is a lower rate of infection than in all but one of 50 U.S. states: The lowest here, Vermont, has a rate of 292 per 100,000; the next lowest is Maine's, with 414. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109004/coronavirus-covid19-cases-rate-us-americans-by-state/
