Global COVID-19 Cases Near 5 Million

According to the Bing COVID-19 Tracker, the number of global cases has reached 4,897,567 and could top 5 million within two days. Active cases hit 2,885,651, which is 92,137 higher than yesterday, as well as 59% of the total of confirmed cases worldwide. Recovered cases rose to 1,688,630, and fatal cases hit 323,286, a one-day gain 4,732. They are now 6.6% of the world’s confirmed case total.

Total COVID-19 confirmed cases in the United States have hit 1,558,631, which is 32% of the world’s total. The active cases increased by 12,490 to 1,169,220, and recovered cases hit 297,153, higher by 8,311. Active case growth is about 50% higher than that of recovered cases.

Fatal cases in America hit 92,258, a gain of 1,564 in a day. They are 29% of the world’s total fatalities and 6% of U.S. confirmed cases. At the current rate of growth, U.S. COVID-19 deaths could reach 100,000 by the end of the month or the first few days in June. Some experts say that because of uncounted cases, the figure is already above that.
