Back over 70k new cases AND over 1000 daily deaths

So much for the crap about the strain being less deadly now. Wishful thinking is often incorrect.

Edit: Over 1200 deaths reported so far today, highest since May.

Although Brazil is catching up pretty quickly. We must stay ahead of them, right?

No? It's not a contest like that? Never mind.
