Less than nine months after the first Covid-19 death was confirmed by the Chinese authorities in the city of Wuhan, more than one million people worldwide have already died from the corona virus. This is according to a census from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. More than 33 million people have been infected worldwide. Experts fear that the actual death toll of the virus is many times higher.

The counter of Johns Hopkins University passed the milestone of 1 million deaths just before 3 am (Belgian time) on Tuesday. 1,002,129 deaths from Covid-19 are now reported worldwide. No statistics are known about who the victims are. Trends are assumed to be the same around the world, so that the majority of fatalities are people over 65 years of age.
The most fatalities were in the United States (about 205,000), followed by Brazil (more than 142,000) and India (over 95,000).

Fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants
The list of countries with the most corona deaths per 100,000 inhabitants is officially headed by San Marino, with 42 deaths out of a population of 34,000, although this gives a distorted picture when compared to 100,000 inhabitants. The real front runner in the number of corona deaths is the South American country of Peru, where a total of 32,142 deaths have been reported, or 100.48 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. Our country follows in second place, with 9,987 deaths or 87.37 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. The top ten is completed by Bolivia (69.21 per 100,000), Andorra (68.83 per 100,000), Brazil (67.67 per 100,000), Chile (67.49 per 100,000), Spain (66.84 per 100,000) , Ecuador (66.02 per 100,000), the United Kingdom (63.28 per 100,000), and the United States (62.58 per 100,000).
However, Belgium’s high place in this list is said to be the result of the counting method used by us. After all, since the start of the corona pandemic in our country, deaths in nursing homes and deaths that are presumably the result of a corona infection have also been included. Other countries do not do this, so the figures from our country give a distorted picture.
Countries without corona deaths
According to data from Johns Hopkins University, there are thirteen countries in the world where not a single corona death has been reported to date. This mainly concerns small city-states and islands, although in several countries a serious underreporting of the number of corona infections must be taken into account and, according to experts, many deaths as a result of corona remained under the radar.
Of the Caribbean islands, Dominica (71,000 inhabitants), Grenada (104,000 inhabitants), Saint Kitts and Nevis (46,000 inhabitants), Santa Lucia (172,000 inhabitants) and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (110,000 inhabitants) were spared. In Africa, only the Seychelles (97,000 inhabitants) and Eritrea (3.5 million inhabitants) have no corona deaths reported. In Asia, no deaths have been reported so far in sparsely populated Mongolia (population 3.1 million), Laos (population 7 million), Cambodia (population 16.2 million), East Timor Island (population 1.2 million). inhabitants) and in Bhutan (754,000 inhabitants). All European countries, except the Vatican City, reported at least one corona death.

Number of infections
According to official counts, more than 33 million people worldwide have been infected with the corona virus, although the actual number of infections is believed to be much higher. In absolute numbers, the United States leads the way in the number of corona infections, with more than 7 million cases. India (6,145,291) and Brazil (4,745,464) complete the top three.
Which group of people is most often infected varies from country to country. In Belgium most new cases are still in the 10-19 and 20-29 age categories. The same trend appears to be continuing in the rest of Europe.
