Five days after the world notched up 6 million coronavirus cases, it reached another peak at 6.5 with deaths in excess of 380,00.
And for sure, seven million cases are just over the horizon. Most probably, in 4 days time.
It is interesting to note that the news are all about the #GeorgeFloyd protests these days and column inches dedicated to the coronavirus pandemic have shrunk accordingly.
Anyway, there are some notable national ‘achievements’ to highlight because Covid-19 is not about to go away just yet.
On Monday, Chile passed 100,000 cases; and a day later, Bangladesh arrived at the halfway mark at 50,000 cases.
Further down the rungs, Nigeria posted 10,000 cases on Sunday and Bolivia and Armenia arrived at this particular milestone two days later.
And Mexico, already No. 14 in terms of total infections, became the seventh country to register more than 10,000 coronavirus deaths on Tuesday.
And Colombia reported 1,000 fatalities on Tuesday too.
