Some six months after the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, and three months after COVID-19’s formal designation as a pandemic, nearly every corner of the world has been touched.
On Sunday, the World Health Organization reported its largest single-day number of new cases worldwide: 136,000, with only 10 countries, most of them in the Americas and South Asia, accounting for three-quarters of those.
