- *I have bolded the lines (for Canada and the US) on 2 of the international graphs to better make out the details for those countries which I feel are of most interest to most people.
- *I have further reduced the viewable range (vertical axis) for the graph "Daily Change (Delta) in Deaths per 1M" to a maximum of 5%, reduced from 10% to it's easier to see the current changes, that are now less than 1% daily for all countries
