In the United States alone, 746,000 people died, more than in any other country, and the number of people infected is “world first,” with about 46 million cases.
The number of deaths in the world is roughly equivalent to the combined populations of Los Angeles and San Francisco. According to the Oslo Peace Research Institute, there have been about as many victims of the wars between the countries in the world since 1950. Globally, Covid-19 is currently the third leading cause of death after heart disease and stroke.
The infection is present in 192 countries and regions.

If official summaries are to be believed, currently India – where the epidemic was alarming in early May, when a wave of outbreaks caused by a delta variant of the virus was at its peak – dies less daily than Russia, the United States, or Britain.
