Dear Reader:

In my very first post where I pasted numbers from Worldometer regarding the pandemic was in my thread Coronavirus, in March 19, 2020, almost a year ago. I  will now compare the numbers from that post, to the numbers of yesterday, March 5, 2021:

March 19, 2020: “Coronavirus cases world-wide: 236,921.  Total deaths worldwide: 9,829“.

March 5, 2021: coronavirus cases world-wide: 116,870,580. Total deaths worldwide: 2,595,204 (approx.. 260 times increase/ 26000% increase of total deaths).

March 19, 2020, counties in order of most cases to least, first number is the number of total coronavirus cases; the second number, in parenthesis, is number of deaths: “China: 80,928 (3,245), Italy: 41,036 (3,405),  Iran: 18,407 (1,284), Spain: 17,395 (803), Germany: 14,544 (43), USA 11,355 (171)… UK: 2,692 (137)”.
