(10,901 posts)And since Canada is declining, its really the U.S. the only region with growing cases.
I might be over-simplifying a bit, but as far as regions that have high case counts and sizable populations to move the world total needle, the U.S. is it. Most of the world is moving downward with the exception of a few countries like Taiwan, and to some extent, Japan and Australia..
South America may be moving up but its at a very low level presently.
In particular, Europe, which was the world's hot spot for a long time, is declining.

See especially "Cases by region" where the only line moving up is the red line which is "U.S. and Canada", and like I said before, Canada is declining, so that line's upward movement is all due to the U.S..
