Summary:
The number of new cases grew world-wide, but fell in the US. Australia is having an especially hard time, with days-to-double deaths showing supra-exponential spread of the virus. But the absolute numbers of fatalities are small in this low-population nation, and the case-fatality rate remains among the world's lowest.
