According to worldometer, almost half a million new cases globally, in the last 24 hours alone!
Actually cracked it today with 504k plus and no doubt multiples more cases and deaths of which we are unaware, that will be estimated when the worst of this virus has passed us.
Further to your other post, I have also been keeping an eye on the huge exponential weekly growth in Europe, including Belgium. That country was already hit very hard during the extremely deadly initial wave and despite many people having already been infected from then until a week ago, on average 15,304 people, being 1 in 758 odd of their citizens have tested positive each and every day of the past seven. Meaning that 1 in 108 of the entire population this last week alone is a known new infection and it will be impossible to contact trace and isolate such numbers.
.

And it was also the first time since April we had 7,000+ deaths on consecutive days.
Yes Belgium is insane!
Also check out the worldometer chart for deaths in Iran - they are now going into a third wave, worse than the second. You will recall Iran was one of the earliest global epicenters at the start of the year.
Not that I trust all the country's numbers, but certainly not Iran's. Their numbers are rocketing, but I reckon they are worse than stated and the death rate spike point in late July always seemed an oddity to me when compared with the relatively flat case count there for some time. Particularly so as the daily case numbers dropped a little in the few preceding weeks, whereas one would expect a rise then prior to the lag in deaths arriving.
