COVID-19 bubbles for every country (Nov 6, 2020 update)
I haven't made a commentated COVID-19 update video in about 4 months, so I figured it's time for a new one! Europe is entering a second wave of new cases, the US is on its third wave of cases, and other countries like China, South Korea, and New Zealand are just chilling in the lower-left corner. Keep wearing masks and social distancing and washing hands! It costs you nearly nothing but can save lives!
EDIT: As ulrich brodowsky and others have pointed out, one major cause for Europe's second wave having more cases (therefore a lower fatality rate) than the first (discussed at 7:33), is that countries are able to do much more testing now than before! In the first wave, many mild cases probably went undetected, since COVID-19 was so new. But now, after 8 months to prepare, a higher percentage of infected people are found. Which is a step in the right direction!
