Weekly cases have now exceeded those reported when the pandemic first peaked in Europe in March,” Hans Kluge, the W.H.O.’s regional director for Europe, said on Thursday. Alarming numbers: The number of cases has increased by more than 10 percent in the past two weeks in more than half the countries of Europe. In seven countries, the number of cases has doubled. “Although these numbers reflect more comprehensive testing, they also show alarming rates of transmission,” he said. The region has recorded at least 220,000 deaths from the virus.

New data showed that the economy shrank 12.2 percent in the second quarter, the country’s biggest fall on record. ■ Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia said Thursday that he wanted to increase the number of people who can enter the country each week by about 2,000 starting at the end of next week.

U.S. officials had provided TikTok’s owner, ByteDance, with revisions to its proposal to bring in Oracle as a partner in a bid to allow the social media app to continue operating in the U.S. Some of the revisions were intended to address how TikTok’s data and source code would be handled and secured. The exact ownership structure of TikTok under the proposed deal is unclear. President Trump has said ByteDance could not retain a majority stake in TikTok. Oracle would have an ownership stake in the app, but would not own it outright, people with knowledge of the situation said. What’s next: The deal still requires approval from Mr. Trump. As of early Thursday afternoon, the president had not been briefed on it, but that was expected to happen soon. Related: Beijing had hoped that Europe would be a counterweight to the United States.

A photograph taken by state-owned news media in Taiwan showed Under Secretary of State Keith Krach arriving in Taipei on Thursday. Pool photo by Central News Agency A U.S. visit to Taiwan, and a warning from China A U.S. envoy arrived in Taiwan on Thursday to attend a memorial service for former President Lee Teng-hui.

China responded to the news of Mr. Krach’s visit by sending two anti-submarine aircraft off the island’s coast, according to the Taiwanese Defense Ministry. The planes were warned off by the Taiwanese Air Force, it said. Details: Though the focus of the visit was the memorial service, Mr. Krach will also discuss economic issues and meet with President Tsai Ing-wen on Friday. Context: The Trump administration is increasingly seeking to counter China’s attempts to isolate Taiwan. Last month, Alex Azar, the health secretary, became the highest-level U.S. cabinet member to visit the island since 1979. If you have 9 minutes, this is worth it A Marine killed a transgender woman. Why is he free? Philippines Bureau of Immigration/EPA, via Shutterstock At 26, Jennifer Laude was full of joy, fearless and beautiful, her friends and family say. She died at the hands of an American she had met at a nightclub, a Marine who was in the Philippines for joint military exercises. After discovering that Laude was transgender, Lance Cpl. Joseph Scott Pemberton choked her and pushed her head into a toilet bowl until she drowned. Human rights advocates had been fighting to hold American service members accountable for violence against women in the Philippines for years. The Marine’s conviction seemed to be a step in the right direction. But on Sept. 13, Pemberton was put aboard a U.S. military plane and flown out of the Philippines, a free man. He had served less than six years.

And now for the Back Story on … Differences in coronavirus outbreaks There has been speculation throughout the pandemic about why some communities seem to be hit harder than others or why a country might suddenly start seeing a greater rate of fatality, including hypotheses about different strains of the virus and dubious claims about how Covid-19 affects different demographic groups. Donald G. McNeil Jr., a science and health reporter for The Times who covers infectious diseases and global health, said that differences in outbreaks were often simply a matter of time. “Once a case, or a few cases, arrive, it can spread exponentially,” he said. “But with borders as nonporous as they are these days, it may take days or weeks for one or a few cases to arrive in a new country.” The severity of an outbreak might also reveal something about a particular place, its approach to containing the virus or the population in the line of fire, he said. For instance, in Belgium, which had the highest death rate per capita on the European continent, The [Times reported](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhRlXEP4Q4AWh0dHBzOi8vc2xhY2stcmVkaXIubmV0L2xpbms_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkFFX3BfMjAyMDA5MTcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MjIyODQmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlY3Rpb249YmFja1N0b3J5JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MzgzOTcmdGU9MSZ1cmw9aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20lMkYyMDIwJTJGMDglMkYwOCUyRndvcmxkJTJGZXVyb3BlJTJGY29yb25hdmlydXMtbnVyc2luZy1ob21lcy1lbGRlcmx5Lmh0bWwmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAQMTQY1_vBHaMUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) that the authorities mostly left nursing homes to fend for themselves: During the peak of the crisis, from March through mid-May, nursing home residents accounted for two out of every three coronavirus deaths. A doctor checks a patient in Ate, on the outskirts of Lima last week. Ernesto Benavides/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images According to a Times database, one of the countries logging the highest rates of deaths per capita is Peru, which is suffering a shortage of oxygen to administer to patients. “Up to 20 percent of all symptomatic Covid cases need oxygen to survive,” Donald said. “In Peru, the two companies that made oxygen served only the lucrative private hospitals, so there was a huge oxygen shortage there; plus much of the population lives at high altitude where oxygen is short anyway.” We’ll have more on that topic soon.
