I don’t know if anybody is interested but my file can actually give figures for any country on demand, I have never used it because most people on this forum are from the countries listed however it is possible to add or subtract countries on a daily, temporary or permanent basis eg:

It is merely a matter of adding the country name to a list in the Excel file
Thanks Bruce.
I recall two other countries where there are OFF members, Sweden and Canada. Perhaps those from there and other countries would like to take advantage of your offer and post other countries to have them added? 
Thanks Bruce, much appreciated. 
Yeah thanks Bruce…
I must say though, when I was a younger man I didn’t know that after turning seventy my future would be determined by watching some numbers each day on the media…
Me neither. In fact because of the current Bondi outbreak I am back to turning the TV on for the Premier’s 11am NSW Press conference (though today it was postponed to 12.30pm today when the NSW Parliament became a close contact location)
It’s all rather sad isn’t it?
I’ll try those two countries from tomorrow and see how we go. I won’t put them in alphabetical order but just add them to the list.
That should please OFF members from the relevant countries.
It is sad Bruce, I hope you guys down under can keep it under control, because it doesn’t seem like we can despite Boris’s best efforts?..
How quickly things can change!
People who live or work in four Sydney local government areas — including the CBD — will go into lockdown after NSW recorded 22 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 today.
The affected local government areas (LGAs) are:
Waverley
Woollahra
Randwick
City of Sydney
People who live in those areas, or have worked in those areas in the past fortnight, will be permitted to leave home only for four reasons until at least 11:59pm on Friday, July 2:
The lockdown will begin at 11:59pm today, and will affect more than 500,000 residents, and a significant number of others who work in the LGAs.
There are now 65 cases linked to the Bondi cluster, which began with an unvaccinated limousine driver who transported international flight crew.

I am sorry that I didn’t mention that other countries could have been included before but I enjoy working with VBA and adding this feature was really just tidying up some sloppy repetitious code - these things tend to grow like Topsy.
A very interesting analysis of contract tracing, the progress of the Bondi cluster and how it got away. Really worth watching, it is only a few minutes. He is a real doctor and knows what he is talking about.
Amazing how easily it can be passed on with the carrier having no knowledge and apparently no symptoms, and no realisation that they were infecting other people. It would be nice to see a follow up of the infected people to see how the virus developed and what symptoms they suffered (if any) after infection. It would appear that there are substantially less deaths and hospital admissions in Australia than from the same amount of infections elsewhere.
To be fair our hospital system has never been overwhelmed by the sheer number of cases. In the first month of the pandemic they doubled the number of ICU beds but as far as I am aware they have never been needed.
One of the scarey things the contact tracers found was that the disease was passed on to someone who just walked through the air space of someone with the disease. There was CCTV footage of this event in a shopping centre, they are very worried about aerosol transmission of this Delta strain.
The Federal Government has finally woken up to the fact that quarantine is their responsibility and are now talking about building Howard Springs like quarantine centres in Victoria and Queensland. It has only taken them a year to come to this conclusion.

At this moment (2pm AEST) the Premier of NSW is announcing a complete lockdown for Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Hunter and Wollongong LGAs.
There are now stay at home orders in effect from 6pm this evening in these areas. and will be in force until 9th July
This Press Conference was announced only 1 hour ago after the Premier warned at her 11am press conference that she might have to change tack. Well this is it.
According to our Glad all household contacts of known cases have contracted the Delta virus so it is very contagious. Her message is “Stop Moving Around”
I won’t be going anywhere for the next fortnight it appears.
Some time back I had the theory that when I approached certain areas of my local Tesco I could smell the perfume of, probably a woman, who had occupied the same space as me but had long since moved on. If I could smell her perfume I realised that she had left something behind hovering in the air after she had gone and I could breathe it in. I believe that had she been infected, I would also have been infected. The CCTV footage you mention seems to bear that theory out Bruce.
I asked about the progress of the people who tested positive to the virus because if the result of being tested positive does not continue to be a serious threat to that person’s life why are we worrying so much about catching it?

44 people have been fined $1000 in NSW for breaching the health order here are two fines to make you laugh.
Two nude sunbathers have been fined $1,000 for breaching COVID-19 public health orders after being startled by a deer and becoming lost in the Royal National Park.
Police were told the men, aged 30 and 49, were spooked by a deer while sunbathing at a remote beach at Otford, south of Sydney. (Otford is north of Wollongong but in the Wollongong LGA)
After becoming lost in the surrounding bushland, the State Emergency Services (SES) and a police helicopter were sent out to help in the rescue operation, which ended at 6:00pm on Sunday.
Police said the younger man had been discovered naked and carrying a backpack.
NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said the situation was “embarrassing” given the seriousness of the lockdown as the outbreak today grew to 130 cases with 18 new infections.
