15 new cases yesterday for Australia (11 in NSW) and 5 deaths so the CMR is up to 1.319% although the active case percentage did drop to 14.7%.

2 new cases for New Zealand and zero deaths so the CMR drops to 1.289%.

Bad news for the UK after they finally added the aged care related COVID19 deaths (approx 3,900) which raised the CMR to 15.795% which surpasses the previous high held by Belgium to be the worst of the statistically significant countries.

The USA had under 20k new cases, the best it's been for awhile but almost 2,500 deaths so the CMR rose to 5.722%.

In other words, the time for complacency isn't here yet. Russia will likely pass the 100k case mark today and the USA now has almost a third of all cases globally.
