The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide exceeds 60 million. The actual (uncounted) number likely reaches one billion, according to the WHO. The reported death toll exceeds 1.5 million, but the true number is likely much higher. Europe is just finishing its second wave, while the United States has seen a steady increase in cases, albeit with three peaks since the beginning of the pandemic. Brazil, India, and Russia are in similar situations.
