BNO News has declared a million coronavirus deaths worldwide, while (at the time of writing) Worldometers remains a few hundred deaths short of that milestone. But #2 India has reached six million cases.
Spain (at #7) is having a flare-up in Madrid, with more than double the country-wide average cases per fortnight (and more than seven times the average in the UK). The national health minister called for Madrid to lock down, but the regional government has refused to do so, apparently out of economic concerns. While much of the increase can be attributed to better testing and the death rate is down, ICU capacity in Madrid remains a concern.
In local news, Nantucket's COVID wave continues. Tourists are part of the problem, though some of the new cases are among locals and haven't been traced yet.
P.S. Massachusetts' cases are up four ninths of a percentage point again today.
