I have been conducting Data Analytics Studies on the Coronavirus Pandemic for 101 days and have written 160 research-based blog posts on COVID-19 in these 101 days.
Yesterday (June 19) Brazil reported not just its highest ever daily count of 55,209 Covid-19 cases, but also the single highest addition of cases by any country on a single day since the epidemic broke out in China in late 2019. The previous record was held by USA, which reported 39,072 cases on April 24. Brazil’s previous highest daily tally was 37,278 cases on June 16.
USA crossed 30,000 cases for the first time in 49 days since May 1, reporting 33,539 new cases yesterday. Brazil has crossed 30,000 cases 9 times since May 30.
Brazil has added 599,756 new Covid cases in the past 22 days since May 28, at an average of 27,262 cases per day.
India also recorded its highest daily case count of 14,721, which was 6.5% higher than the previous record of 13,827 cases on June 18.
The record cases reported by Brazil and India — and the high count reported by USA —helped the world record a new high of 180,897 cases yesterday. The previous world record was 146,111 new Covid-cases on June 17 and the next highest was 143,566 new cases on June 16. So the last 4 days have seen 3 new records.
The last 10 days have seen 1,414,986 new cases in the world at an average of almost 141,500 cases per day. This is also a record for any 10-day period.
Brazil contributed 21% of these 1,414,583 cases, USA contributed 17.8%, India 8.6% and Russia 5.9%. So, these 4 countries alone accounted for 53.3% of all the new Covid cases worldwide in the last 10 days. In the last month, these 4 countries have accounted for 53.93% of all Covid cases worldwide.
