In total, 2,500,172 deaths and 112,618,488 cases have been reported. With 842,894 deaths, Europe is the hardest-hit region, followed by Latin America and the Carib- bean (667,972 deaths) and the US and Canada (528,039). Almost half of the fatalities have occurred in just five coun- tries: the US (506,232), Brazil (249,957), Mexico (182,815), India (156,705) and Britain (122,070). These figures are based on daily tolls provided by health au- thorities in each country and exclude later re-evaluations by statistical organizations, as has happened in Russia, Spain and Britain. The world passed one million reported coronavirus deaths on September 28, a little over nine months after the first death was recorded in China in January 2020. It took just four more months, until January 15, to reach two million deaths. But the pace of deaths has slowed since late January this year, with 66,800 last week or an average of 9,500 per day - well below the deadliest week of January 20 to 26, when 101,400 deaths or 14,500 per day were registered.
