The global death toll from the coronavirus surpassed 700,000 on Wednesday, according to a Reuters tally. Nearly 5,900 people are dying every 24 hours from COVID-19 on average. That equates to 247 people per hour, or one person every 15 seconds
- The global death toll from the coronavirus surpassed 700,000 on Wednesday, according to a Reuters tally, with the United States, Brazil, India and Mexico leading the rise in fatalities.
"They are dying, that's true," Trump said in an interview with the Axios news website."It is what it is. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t doing everything we can. It’s under control as much as you can control it. This is a horrible plague." The pandemic was initially slower to reach Latin America, which is home to about 640 million people, than much of the world. But officials have since struggled to control its spread because of the region's poverty and densely packed cities.
Even in parts of the world that had appeared to have curbed the spread of the virus, countries have recently seen single-day records in new cases, signaling the battle is far from over.
