For sure, Covid-19 takes joy in its capability to infect and kill. Therefore, it does not intend to take a break any time soon!
Still, when we scrutinize the stats, we will know that recoveries are already at 52.6% of the total number of confirmed infections. This means, recoveries have exceeded total active cases and that's a good sign.
This supports the general understanding that a clear majority of patients with coronavirus recover without being admitted to the hospital. And of those who are admitted, again, most will recover.
Note too that deaths constitute 5.3% of the total number of cases worldwide. When we pick one single day, i.e. June 18, the calculation tells us that the percentage stands at only 3.6%. Surely, that's another reason to feel optimistic.
The twelve worst-affected countries are indicative of the pandemic's progression. Although the numbers appear massive – but I think slowly and surely, things are looking up.
Anyway, these 12 countries represent 70.7% and 80.8% of total cases and deaths respectively.
