#Germany totalled over 12,500 new #Covid19 cases by late last night, an all time record.
Contact tracing isn't as effective now the numbers are so large, and I cannot see Germany turning this around. I am predicting an infection rate of 250-300 AD/M within 2 weeks (by 5 Nov)

#Czechia just avoids breaking another record, with a total of 14,151 #Covid19 infections just declared.
That's 800 fewer than yesterday, but still almost 50% up on the same day last week.
I project tomorrow will see another record in Czech Republic, around 17,000 likely.

The first time the #USA had back to back days of increased infection rate in the second wave of #Coronavirus was 6 October. 17 days ago. That's exactly why #Covid19 death rates are now starting to rise again in the States. It will get worse, especially as autumn turns to winter.
For only the second time since July, the #USA has hit 70,000 new #Covid19 cases in a day.
The total for Thursday stands at 71,000 - however 3 States: Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska did not declare results. These states could account for 3-5,000 extra cases

Kharkiv, Odesa, Khmelnytsky, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhia, Ternopil, Poltava now worst hit

Interestingly, in a bid to calm the public, #Poland has started publishing available hospital and ICU beds after making more capacity.
7000 "available" hospital beds looks good. But then you work out another 700 were filled in the last 24 hours alone.

OMG - lunacy!
I guess two countries in central/eastern europe don't want to see their case numbers come down too quickly (see next retweet also)

Here's the expected record in #Switzerland too

#Romania breaks through 5000 cases a day for the first time
The new record is 5,028 new #covid19 infections, about 25% up on a week ago - at least the increases are slowing again now.
What's not slowing is the death rate. 82 more lost their lives in Romania today

Looking for some decent #Covid19 news?
Well #Iceland #Estonia #Finland are the only 3 European nations to avoid setting a record so far today - yet they also all recorded a week on week rise compared to last Friday.
