The global figure reached 1 million coronavirus deaths on Monday, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University, a milestone in a pandemic that has averaged 3,819 lives consistent with the day since the beginning of the year and shows few symptoms of relaxation.
China reported Covid-19’s first death worldwide in mid-January as a component of an outbreak that, according to experts, is likely to come from a market in Wuhan city, and since then the virus has affected each and every inhabited continent and inflamed more than 30. a million people. .
The United States has led the world with 203329 deaths through Covid-19 since early February, more than 20% of the overall global according to World Health Organization data, and the country still records more than 500 new deaths each day.
Brazil is home to the world’s deadliest epidemic, with a total of 141,406 deaths.
The death toll for Covid-19 in India is now the fastest in the world, with 95,542 deaths in total and more than 1,000 new deaths each day.
Europe, which hosted a widespread epidemic in several countries in the spring, accounts for 235139 deaths in total, and the number of cases in countries such as France and Spain is at the back after governments calmed down with their strict blockade regulations over the summer.
China has reported only 4,746 deaths since the beginning of the year, some foreign observers have questioned the accuracy of China’s data.
5,384, this is the number of new deaths reported worldwide on Sunday, according to the World Health Organization, a decrease than the world record of 12,430 deaths, which was set one day in mid-April.
One million deaths is a daunting figure, however, experts warn that the actual number of deaths from the virus may also be even higher. Some patients may not have had a coronavirus check before they died, leaving their deaths without a count, and more. Tension in fitness systems could possibly have led to more deaths. In particular, the United States would have particularly underestimated their deaths in the spring of Covid-19, according to a study by Yale University.
Few giant countries have been able to completely eliminate their coronavirus outbreaks. For example, Spain and the UK tamed the spread of the virus in the spring through late business and social gathering restriction, yet both countries began to reintroduce some restrictions this month after a partial exit. US states such as Texas and Arizona experienced epidemics during the summer after easing their restrictions. Researchers have made progress on several candidate vaccines, but maximum fitness officials say doses are unlikely to be available for public consumption until January. next year.
“As some countries start to open up, we are seeing cases and deaths on the rise,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press convention earlier this month. “This is a critical time for countries and we ask leaders to put in place specific measures that we know can suppress the spread. “
