Worldwide COVID-19 infections approach 20 million
As of Monday evening, COVID-19 infections are closing in on 20 million people globally, according to Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering. It has now infected 5,075,678 people in the U.S., killed 163,282 in the U.S. and 732,889 people worldwide.
The number of coronavirus cases is still rising in every region of the country. With 10,382 deaths, California is now the third U.S. state to register over 10,000 deaths after New York (32,781 deaths) and New Jersey (15,878 deaths). Texas has the fourth highest number of fatalities (9,177).
The World Health Organization currently estimates that 16% of people with COVID-19 are asymptomatic and can transmit the coronavirus, while other data show that 40% of coronavirus transmission is due to carriers not displaying symptoms of the illness.
The infectiousness of asymptomatic individuals relative to those who are symptomatic is 75%, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based on studies of “viral shedding” dynamics — that is, how much of the virus they transmit through talking or breathing.
