COVID-19 cases in America (9282788) were
42.58% of global active cases (21,802,166).
In the past 48 hours, the
More than 80% of all Americans have likely been infected and are especially vulnerable to emerging more lethal variants of the virus which unlike the 2020 zoonotic that first infected humans coming from another mammal, the new variants have learned something about the human body having nbeen inside many, and morphed into something more infectious and probably more lethal, say scientists.
At the outset of the UK

detection, according to the COVID-19 Genomics Consortium of the United Kingdom, “the rapid growth of the [B.1.1.7] lineage indicates the need for enhanced genomic and epidemiological surveillance worldwide and laboratory investigations of antigenicity and infectivity.”
The calculated
CFR has only marginal comparative value because in many countries, excess deaths far exceed reported case fatalities which would be a better indicator of the disease impact.
IFR will not likely be known until long after the pandemic has ended. In the meantime, we mark as estimate what our computations indicate the implied
IFR may be.
We use an algorithm that is applied on the fly by a computer program and the algorithm is based on data from China and South Korea. The very specific mass testings in China and South Korea yield extraordinary
data. So also do surveys conducted by nurses in the provinces of the Philippines.
Estimate: global reported cases + unreported asymptomatic & mild infections total: 1,021,793,518 while deaths exceed 2 million (248 territories plus naval/commercial sea-going vessels).
The Civil Society (NGO) Partners for Solidarity against COVID-19 tracking team in Singapore, led by biostatistician Fred Harris reports that, “of significance there are several models done by universities around the world which argued the COVID-19 pandemic will yield about 600 million cases including the asymptomatic and mild cases.”
“
IFR of 0.255 %,” says Harris.
“The reported data is 93,570,821 confirmed cases in 248 countries/territories, 2,001,554 deaths at a
CFR of 2.139% and 26,335,713 cases currently active, not yet resolved by cure or death; and
“another milestone of considerable concern,” says Harris, “is the US
