Two million deaths from coronavirus: the map that shows where they have died

Two million deaths from coronavirus. And counting …

The covid pandemic – 19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus detected for the first time at the end of 2019 in China, has exceeded the two million death mark worldwide, according to the count of Johns Hopkins University.

The past 28 September, the number of deaths from the disease had reached the milestone of one million fatalities, with Latin America and the Caribbean in the lead.

The figure it doubled in three and a half months, which is proof that the transmission of the virus is increasing in regions and countries where it seemed to be controlled: Europe is now the region that accumulates the most deaths.

The milestone of two million of deceased arrives shortly after the start of vaccination programs. The World Health Organization says that herd immunity is not expected to be achieved in 2021.
