In late January 2020 only a few dozen COVID-19 infections had been identified outside of China. Now the virus has spread to every corner of the globe. More than 100 million infections have been reported worldwide, and the death toll is above 2 million, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins University.

The United States has far more COVID cases and deaths than any other country. India and Brazil have the second and third highest tally of cases respectively.

Explore the chart below to find a country-by-country breakdown of new and total cases since January 2020.........................

Death toll also is bound to be much higher.

Globally, daily new cases are on the rise again, from 359,762 reported daily new cases on Feb 20 to 383,724 on Feb 27 -- an increase of 6.7%. Though it's a relatively tiny upturn compared to the decline from the January 11   739,428 peak. Still, it's troublesome. (All three numbers are trailing 7 day moving averages)

The U.S. decline has stopped and has leveled off since about Feb 19 (also trailing 7 day moving averages of daily new cases)

More than 28 million people in the U.S. have had confirmed coronavirus infections and more than 511,000 have died of COVID-19. Tens of thousands of new cases are reported daily nationwide. In the graphics below, explore the trends in your state.

View the data via a heat map (immediately below), curve charts, a table of state-by-state trends over four weeks, or a map of total cases and deaths.

The map above shows the risk of infection in each state based on new daily cases per capita. The consortium of researchers and public health experts who developed these risk levels advises states in the red category to issue stay-home orders. They advise orange states to consider stay-home orders, along with increased testing and contact tracing. Yellow states need to keep up social distancing and mask usage, and all states should continue testing and contact tracing.

To compare state outbreaks, the chart above graphs trend lines for average new daily cases and deaths against each state's totals to date. This type of visualization highlights a state's daily growth or decline relative to the overall size of its outbreak.

When both new and total case and death counts grow quickly, the curves bend upward. As new cases and deaths slow, the curves level or bend down. In New York, the curve rose sharply before reaching over 170,000 total cases in April. New cases fell from about 10,000 per day in mid-April to under 900 a day most of the summer, before starting to rise in the fall. ..............................

but it's going to take the vaccine, widely distributed, to knock them down to a manageable level among dimwits and Qbots who get their scare news from Facebook. It will continue to be a nuisance disease with a reservoir among the stupid for the foreseeable future.

Mainly in the countries without adequate access to vaccines.

Also in those below 18 and anti-vaxxers in the United States.
