The USA and France recorded over 1,000 death yesterday while total confirmed cases cross 1 million. In hard-hit Spain, the death toll rose to 13,915 and Spain to 10,348. Spreading has increased in many small European countries. Sri Lanka curve was somewhat similar to Singapore and Hong Kong earlier but now it is more closer to the Vietnam inflection curve.
