Munging Global COVID stats

Previously (NZ stats); banner image from US CDC: https://phil.cdc.gov/Details.aspx?pid=23354. It hasn’t been discussed in either the Canadian or NZ news from what I can see, but I’m vaguely aware that some countries are having a legit resurgence. I understand that people who are more closely connected to European countries have been talking about it more. Quebec is worrying about one but the Canada-wide numbers are still better than many European countries.
