Italy actual daily fatals down for 2 days now. It's happened before (see series below), but by only deminimus amounts. Yesterday was a 25% drop from the high (601 v 793). Most likely an anomaly, but everyone is starting to pay attention.

It it drops again for another 2-3 days, people are going to be itching to cheat the coming market ramp-up. Italy is approx 8 days ahead of the US.

Tonight's numbers from https://www.worldometers.info. Smaller ratio numbers are better. Data not validated. YMMV for informational interest only. Please send a private message if you would like on or off the ping list. Removed Germany because their numbers vary too greatly.

UK & Italy are still showing a downward trend. US declined today, after a two day up trend. Both Spain and France have an increase. Spain has ticked upward for several days in a row now. South Korea, sadly, had seven new deaths after a period of hardly any.
