Hopefully we are starting to see some benefits of the lock downs. 2 x low 300 new cases in consecutive days....it should deserve a mention but you don't hear about it....its only "record deaths", "deadliest day"....

The high death counts the last few days are only what we predicted a few weeks back simply based on the case numbers we were seeing in July. It's only likely to reach a peak over the next week assuming new case numbers stay down. Sadly, at a CMR of nearly 1.4% - which by the way is what the first outbreak peaked at - a day with 700 cases is going to result in ~10 deaths on average so the 3k or so cases in the last 7 days will mean around 42 deaths are coming.

You've obviously not posted anything anywhere lately. We had an Express shipment (EMS) to Canada that arrived after 11 weeks and this was early in the COVID outbreak when there were still some international passenger flights. Express shipments in Australia are taking 3-7 days even from country Vic to Melbourne and NZ EMS is taking about a week.
