As usual, things continue with no change in course. Countries are flattening the curve, while the numbers still grow. Politically too, we await answers.
On the Coronavirus, it has now spread to every mainland country that is not extremely isolated. Countries that remain are all very isolated with little outside travel (compared to other countries) excepting only Lesotho, which, benefits from being surrounded by south africa, and thus, is able to piggyback off of their measures with their help.
Beyond this, only island nations remain covid free. With places like the Falklands and Bonaire now having cases, only 7 non-pacific islands remain free of cases. Added to the 8 nations including nations with limited recognition) that are reporting 0 cases right now, this puts the plurality of covid-free nations being pacific island nations at 16.
In terms of Politics, Government formation negotiations continue in Israel and Ireland.
Polls in Italy have been mostly stable, but Lega has fallen a few points, and the far right FdI party has gained as a result.
In Germany, things, again, remain stable, but the CDU has gained, as can be expected for any government seen to be managing things. This same bump can be seen in Canada, the UK, and even Russia, where voters are putting just a few extra points behind incumbent governments in polls.
As such, there's not much to say, at least, until things change.
