Over the past six months, the Covid-19 virus has spread around the world, yet the United States, Brazil and India are lately the highest hit, with the highest number of cases. With more than five million instances, the United States accounts for at most twice the number of instances in Brazil and India. But when we compare the expansion of new instances over a 10-day period, India has the highest rate of expansion. This raises considerations as to whether the government is doing enough to involve the pandemic.
We try to evaluate the rate of expansion of new instances in the 3 countries, with the highest number of instances, a 10-day moving average, and a 10-day sliding change.
The expansion of new instances in India over a 10-day period consistent with a period of more than 300% in April. The rate moderated to 29, consistent with the penny as of August 11. However, the 10-day sliding replacement in new cases in the United States is much lower, 11% in the United States and 15% in Brazil in August.
If we compare the 10-day moving average of new instances, the line peaked in the last week of July for the United States and has been shrinking ever since. In the case of Brazil, the moving average peaked on August 2. But for India, the line continues to rise, indicating the threat that cases will continue to rise for some time. The 3 countries carry five lakh instances approximately every 10 days.
On the positive side for India, the recovery rate is high, about 70 percent, compared to the United States, where the recovery is much weaker, 52 percent.
India’s penny-consistent mortality rate of 1.99 is also well below that of the United States and Brazil, which have a mortality rate of more than 3 consistent with the penny. The youngest demographic profile in our country can simply paint in our favor at this point. The spread of the virus is also much smaller in India, compared to the population. Only 1,656 other people, in line with millions of people, are inflamed in India, while in the United States and Brazil, this number is 10 times higher than India.
As for the adequacy of the tests, the positivity rate for India of 11.05 is too low and compares well with 12.05 in the United States. However, in terms of evidence consistent with millions, India is well below the United States and Brazil.
