For example, it took 16 days for U.S. instances to move from 4 million to five million, and new instances have been declining since the end of July.
However, the number of cases in the United States remains the most sensitive in the overall chart, representing about a quarter of the 25 million cases.
And while death reports in the United States remain well below their spring peak, the cumulative death toll reaches 200,000. The death toll in August more than doubled the average in early July.
