The number of cases of coronavirus infection in the world has decreased by 11% over the past week. It is possible that this is due to a decrease in the number of tests performed.
Over the past week, more than 3.3 million people have been infected with the coronavirus, and just over 9,000 people have died, which is approximately 0.3%. And given the fact that a huge number of patients with covid did not go through tests, now the mortality rate from coronavirus in the world is approaching 0.1%, which is quite comparable to the lethality of the flu. Also, according to WHO experts, the number of deaths per week decreased by 3%.
The last peak values for infections in the world were in January 2022, when the Omicron strain raged on the planet. Since then, a steady decline has continued in most countries of the world. However, the number of deaths is still growing in the Western Pacific region, in Africa and America. In the United States, more than 736 thousand cases per week, and this is a lot. Also in the US 2,461 deaths.
In terms of deaths, Russia is in fourth place after Brazil and Italy – 605 deaths per week, and China broke into fifth with 578 deaths. Moreover, the statistics for China are very contradictory from everywhere, somewhere it is said that several hundred people are infected there per day, somewhere – several thousand, somewhere – tens of thousands, and it is rather difficult to understand where the numbers are correct.
In total, more than 527.6 million people have been officially infected with coronavirus on the planet since the beginning of the pandemic, 6.29 million have died. So far, the pandemic has not stopped, but is steadily declining, and everyone is noticing this. (READ MORE)
