I have been doing Data Analytics Studies on the Coronavirus Pandemic for 235 days and have written 231 research-based articles on COVID-19 in these 235 days.
The archaic American system—which has been counting votes for 57 hours and will continue to do so for at least another 57—will result in the world knowing who the next POTUS is probably some time on Saturday. In the meantime, the COVID19 pandemic is affecting people and taking lives like never before.
Thursday, 5 November witnessed a record highest daily count of 608,550 Covid-19 cases worldwide, 7.15% higher than the previous record of 567,964 cases set on Friday, 30 October.
This was primarily due to record cases in USA (118,319), France (58,046), Italy (34,505), Poland (27,143), Spain (21,908), and Germany (21,757). Many other countries reported cases which counted amongst their five highest daily tallies.
Yes, the “second wave” in the USA and most Europe is much worse than the first. Will we see the same thing in India and South America?
As the USA still awaits the results of its presidential elections on late Friday night, it will become the first country to cross 10 million (1 crore) cases and its Texas state will become the first to cross 1 million cases.
On early Sunday morning in India, the world will cross 50 million cases. Columbia and the UK entered the 1-million-case ‘club’ in the last 8 days.
An average of 523,345 cases per day have been reported worldwide in the last 7 days, compared to 473,587 cases in the previous 7-day period (23-29 October).
