Well, now Germany has edged into the lead in the E.U.
Yesterday they claimed 45,410 covid positive cases, and 244 new deaths.
So Germany is certainly now in the forefront of daily cases in the E.U.
but perhaps, this is by far the highest daily cases they have ever posted.
Add to which they do not currently have an effective government.
Also to remember that each of the German states has its own covid rules.
The second highest number was posted for the November 5th this year but this latest figure is ten thousand more than the 5th, so very steeply upward.
