COVID19 TREND


Total Covid 19 cases in the world as on the midday of 31.05.2020 is 61,61,485  and the death is 3,71,016. This makes 790 cases and 48 deaths per million population. Let us now have a look at some countries at random. Total countries infected are 215 as of now.

(The figures shown below are in the following order and are as on 30.05.2020. 1. Total reported cases. 2. Total deaths. 3. Cases per million population. 4. Deaths per million population.)
USA     17,93,530 - 1,04,542  5421 -316
UK          2,71,222 -    38,161  3997 -562
China        82,999 -      4,634       58 -    3
Iran        1,46,868 -      7,677  1748  - 92
Italy       2,32,248 -    33,229  3841 -550
France   1,86,335 -    28,714  2863 -440
Spain     2,85,644 -    27,121  6110 -580
Canada     89,418 -      6,979  2371 -185
Russia   3,87,623 -      4,374  2656 -  30
Brazil     4,68,338 -    27,944  2205 -132
Sing'pore. 33,860 -           23  5792 -    4
India       1,82,490 -      5,186    132 -    4
(The figures shown against India is updated)
It can be found from this table that there are wide variation from countries in infection and mortality per million population. While Spain has the highest rate of infection and mortality, China remains the lowest. The difference is of huge numbers.  This factor certainly warrant to find the exact reason behind it. Whether it is geographic including climatic conditions, food habits of the people, effective preventive measures by the administration and the people together or any othr reasons is to be investigated. If this could be identified by the concerned authorities, some effective check can be made in future cases of infection and mortality.
