Dear Reader:

Global Coronavirus cases reported: almost 5.5 millions, global deaths: almost 350,000 (13%), global recoveries: almost 2.3 millions (87%).

Almost 1.7 millions of the 5.5 global million cases (31% of global cases) are in the US. Brazil is in a far second place with almost 340,000 reported cases (6.6% of global cases)

U.S population is about 331 millions, about 14.8 million tests done (about 4.5% of the population tested) Brazil’s population is about 212 millions, about 735 thousand tests done (0.35% of the population tested).

U.S. Covid-19 deaths are over 99 thousands (28.7% of global deaths), Brazil’s Covid-19 deaths are almost 23 thousands (6.6% of global deaths).

The US is almost 10 million square miles and Brazil is about 3.8 million  square miles. Brazil is almost 0.4 the area of the US with a population that is 0.64% that of the US, that is, the population density is higher.

In the next post I want to compare Covid-19 in two cities with the highest population density in their respective countries: New York City, USA, and Sa Paolo, Brazil.
