Data valid as at 23:59 GMT October 16th, 2020.

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting except for the Victorian 14 day moving averages.

9 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR drop to 3.303% while active cases increase to 1,405. NSW recorded 5 and Queensland 2 cases with the balance in Victoria.

The Victorian State 14 day moving average is down to 9.5 with metro falling to 8.1 (17 unknown) and regional down to 0.5 with no unknown cases (including today). Victoria reported 1 new cases for the last 24 hours.

2 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.333% and active cases rise to 42.

The UK had a slightly lower 15,635 new cases yesterday. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore the CMR but even using their method they recorded 136 deaths.

Just over 66k new cases in the USA yesterday and 873 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.711% and active cases remain at 32.5% with the raw numbers rising and still over 2.6M. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.
