(Reuters) - The World Health Organization reported a record increase in global coronavirus cases on Sunday, with the total rising by 230,370 in 24 hours.

 

The biggest increases were from the United States, Brazil, India and South Africa, according to a daily report. The previous WHO record for new cases was 228,102 on July 10. Deaths remained steady at about 5,000 a day.

 

Global coronavirus cases were approaching 13 million on Sunday, according to a Reuters tally, marking another milestone in the spread of the disease that has killed more than 565,000 people in seven months.

good thing we are safe here in thailand.

oh dear  !   better get on top of it soon ....  it's becoming tiresome.

[genset]

It seems logical that an increase in established testing procedures would result in an increase of reported infections (people are now being routinely tested when they are admitted as in-patients to Hospitals in Florida as an example. Whether they are admitted for elective surgery, show any signs of viral infection or not).

 

Unsurprisingly conspicuous in it's absence from main stream media reports (who seemingly want to continue milking this story for all it's worth); is the reported mortality rate, which by all accounts has plummeted to around 0.26%, do facts matter any more..?

It is not only the mortality rate ... people who were cured of the virus and left hospital may suffer severe side effects such as permanent lung , liver and kidney damage , and even brain damage ...

Ohio man, 37, who refused to wear a mask and claimed the pandemic was just 'hype' in a Facebook post dies from coronavirus

Richard Rose (left), 37, of Ohio, who claimed the coronavirus pandemic was just 'hype' in a Facebook post (top right) despite the virus sickening more than 3.2 million and killing at least 137,000 Americans, has died. Rose wrote on Facebook that he was experiencing COVID-19 symptoms on July 1 and went to get tested. The US Army veteran tested positive and died from the virus at his home just two days later. But before Rose's death, he voiced his support for President Donald Trump, slammed the Black Lives Matter movement and accused Democrats of spreading false information about the pandemic. He also claimed on April 28 that the pandemic was just 'hype', saying: 'Let make this clear. I'm not buying a f**king mask. I've made it this far by not buying into that damn hype.

US military will not accept anyone to join if they ever had Covid-19 because of all the side effects.

That is what you get for not believing. Wish it only went after people who disrespect their own safety. Too bad its these kind of people who spread it to others.

The death/mortality rate is more than .26% 

 

eg In UK, 45,000 death, 280,000 positive. About 15%. (High because many in old care homes and most people overweight)

 

USA and Brazil have big population. Look like Belgium the worse one, then UK, other Europe then North and South America. 

Belgium double death rate USA.

 

 

Also UK, Sweden, Spain and Netherlands not show active cases. 

Why not?

Your chart is from 22nd May correct?

 

MIAMI — The rate of daily coronavirus deaths reported by the state of Florida has begun to tick up again for the first time since May, a trend that was apparent even before Thursday’s announcement of a record 120 COVID deaths, following weeks of rising hospitalizations.

All charts now confirm a rising death trendline

[J Town]

It took 95 days for US to reach 1,000,000 Covid-19 cases.

After that, 43 days to reach 2,000,000 cases.

Then just 28 days to reach 3,000,000 cases.

At this rate, US will reach 4,000,000 cases in two weeks.

Florida is now the epicenter of not just the US, but of the world.

These numbers are from John Hopkins University & The Wall Street Journal 9 July 2020.

The USA stupid

1) “open” everything before control it. Only think about money. Greed. 

2) fight about statues, lefty vs far right etc. idiots

3) only start to wear mask now. Still many refuse. 

 

The chart show when they open and when they fight statues it go up.

in 2-3 week the death will go up more same. Sure. 

 

I angry about that. Make problem for the world not control it. 

Selfish.

Removed comment as did not refer to the OP,  "communicable" diseases. 

The current pandemic concerning Coronavirus is the topic.  

Thank you for pointing this out J Town.

18 million deaths from Cancer per year, 20 million deaths from Heart disease.  WHO cannot cure most causes of death, but think the virus is avoidable or we can all avoid it by staying home until there is a vaccine. 

 

WHO is trying to save people from this virus, yet have failed in so many other areas that the numbers from this virus (<600,000) seem insignificant to many.  https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/children-reducing-mortality

USA cannot be controlled like other countries.  Herd immunity should have been allowed from the start IMO.  Though "cases" are growing, death rates are NOT.  so in reality they are practicing herd immunity in many areas of the USA and will likely not need the vaccine when it becomes available.

You base your assertion on CFR (Case Fatality Rate) which is not representative of the actual risk we are exposed to. Of relevance is the IFR (Infection Fatality Rate = Number people who succumbed/ Number of people infected), which most researchers estimate at 0.6%/0.7%. I say estimate because we still don't have solid figures on the number of asymptomatic COVID carriers.

But I can forgive you since you are supposed to be Thai, hence less anal about numbers than us Farang. For instance Thais understand that the official zero domestic COVID cases means "not many, but still enough to wear masks." while we Farang understand zero as "dead centre between +infinity and -infinity".

Might as well go for herd immunity at that rate.

And that's the most important part of this pandemic - cancer, heart disease and the such are not communicable, whereas Covid is extremely so.

 

And the argument that it's only 1% fatal is not taking into account all the collateral damage. For every 1 death, 19 more require hospitalization; 18 of those will have some permanent heart damage for the rest of their lives; 10 will have permanent lung damage; 3 will have strokes; 2 will have neurological damage leading to chronic weakness and loss of coordination. Stay at home, wear a mask if you have to go out, observe social distancing and wash your hands.

WHO has completed major projects on the reduction / elimination of disease worldwide, which is ongoing, saving millions of lives per annum in the global general population. 

 

Not sure what you're doing by not quoting the two sentences of the report in your link; refer below. However, the countries with the highest number of child deaths are among the most corrupt, so far as I know government corruption is not a remit for WHO.

 

"Substantial global progress has been made in reducing child deaths since 1990. The total number of under-5 deaths worldwide has declined from 12.6 million in 1990 to 5.3 million in 2018. On average, 15 000 children under-5 die each day compared with 34 000 in 1990.

The operative word is "may". What, one wonders is the scale and and prevalence of these alleged side effects? Also, it is know that other viral infections, such as flu and mumps can lead to long-lasting nd serious complications.
