And with a daily positivity rate of above 10%, or a 7-day average of 8.7%,
worse than at any point since May. It's double the rate of last month, and back in May they were testing 4x fewer people. The hospitalisation rate has now reached its
highest on record too: 67k current hospitalised, and it's gone up by almost 1k every day this month. They plateaued at around 60k in the first and second peaks but this one just seems to be marching on up.
Could be the first country to get back to its death total peaks from the 1st wave, while hospitalising many, many more in the process. But then Italy doesn't seem far off that either: their
positivity rate is at 25% and daily cases exploded from 4k to 30k in October. It'll be great to get 2020 over with but it'll be a bizarre way to start 2021, possibly in a worse position than ever across big chunks of the world.
