Weekend – Numbers and reports from around the US and Europe continue to show a massive rise in positive tests, associated hospitalisation and the final lagging indicator, death.
Washington State numbers from The Seattle Times. Daily cases up, 800+ per day – that’s approaching the July peak. Hospitalisation and death are still relatively stable.
Friday – 91k US cases in the last 24 hours. 24k UK cases. This is the “new normal” as we head deeper into this phase of infection. “Save Christmas” lockdown.
Thursday – EU moving patients across borders to keep hospitals going.
Wednesday – France, Germany, Greece.
Tuesday – Talk of a new England-wide lockdown.
Monday – There is a risk this becomes a list of countries with record breaking infection. Portugal, Czechia, Belgium, Italy, UK, most of the US.

Slightly changing the title of the post to reflect this is week 32 of working from home; week 43 of 2020.
Weekend – Victoria, Australia flaring up again. UK urging “fresh air”, and this in the Seattle Times about Friluftsliv.
Weekly graph for Washington State, from the Seattle Times.
Friday – “3M cases in Spain” – 3x reported number. Multiple lockdowns across Europe. 80k + daily cases in the US.
That UK curve.
Thursday – Curfew and lockdown orders across Europe. US State numbers growing.
Wednesday – So many European countries in escalating cases. UK, Spain, France, Germany, Italy.
Tuesday – Manchester/NW England facing lockdown enforcement.
Monday – 40M global cases. “Tsunami” of cases in Belgium and across Europe. 48 US States with increasing cases.

Weekend – misleading Tweets from Trump removed. US cases up in 48 States. Early voting continues despite distancing.
Weekly summary of Washington State cases:
Friday – local outbreak of COVID-19 at Harborview Hospital in Seattle. Continued reporting of massive European case surges. US Thanksgiving could be another superspreader weekend. 8M cases in the US. 220k deaths. 400k new global cases today.
Thursday – Remdesivir doesn’t prevent COVID deaths. UK lockdowns continuing amidst much confusion and pushback.
Wednesday – multiple WA counties improve – and start opening back up. 38M global cases. Watched Totally Under Control last night.
Tuesday – this looks a lot like March – with rapidly climbing positive cases across the globe. The only difference being rather than 30k cases per day it’s 300k cases per day. US daily cases is a classic fast, slow, fast pattern.
Monday – continued mixed behaviour from Senators – masks, positive tests, no masks, video attendance. French declare second wave is here. J&J vaccine trial paused.

Weekend – “Trump immune to Covid” claim; Twitter removes tweet. Midwest cases climb. UK cases huge rise. UK at “tipping point”
Weekly update from Washington State via The Seattle Times.
Friday – 350k new cases globally. New cases accelerating – similar to the spring.
Thursday – record global rise in new cases, clearly we are in the midst of a new wave. Serious hospital cases are the lagging indicator – and ICUs are filling rapidly across Europe and the US.
Wednesday – very much the two sides of the coronavirus story. Europe and US with increasing cases, lockdown and protests. White House coronavirus spreading and the (mis)information being spread about that. Scotland cancels 2021 exams. BBC summary.
Tuesday – the slow moving second wave continues to break over Europe. French ICU, Ireland Level 5, UK lockdowns.
Monday – more cases in the WH. Continued confusion over Trump’s health and care regime. Ireland heading for total lockdown. Cases rising across the US.
