Chelsea Clinton - Two words: Donald Trump.

1. Unfortunately we are going right back to the peak values.

And since it seems we won't shut down again, we are likely to overtake peak values quite easily and keep going up.

2. We're above 30000 avg for the last week

3. Why is Sweden's line so flat? Thought they were having issues.

4. Small population.

Those values are not normalized by population.

5. Makes sense.

6. Not that it changes the fact that the US is by far the worst case...

...but a graph like this is really misleading unless it graphs per capita rates. It's nearly meaningless when you don't take the relative population sizes of these different countries into account.

9. Correct. n/t

[live love laugh]

7. Trump and his understudy Bolsonaro top the charts.

[Ms. Toad]

8. New cases today: 36015. There have only been two days ever with a higher

new case count: April 24 and May 1 (Both of them Fridays - typically the highest count of the week)

June now has 3 of the top 10 days for new cases.

Over the last 3 weeks the daily average has climbed from 21,602 to 25,753, to 31,745.

Vanishing right down to zero!!!
