There are currently over 2 million cases world wide and over 141,000 deaths. This gives an overall world wide death rate of greater than 6.5%. The US continues to lead the world in number of cases and deaths by a long shot. And, as you can see below, the percent of diagnosed cases that result in death continues to climb for all countries not named China. Germany leads the way with the lowest death rate at 2.8%. The US is at 5%. Both have at least doubled since my last posting. Let's hope we have seen the worst and are on the better side of the apex moving forward.
As is the same for everyone, COVID continues to wreak havoc on our world and our country. A new norm will develop once all the dust settles. If your'e like me you've often wondered or talked with friends and loved ones about what the new norm will look. A few questions (and please feel free to comment)...How will this effect social gatherings such as sporting events? What new businesses or services will be born out of this pandemic? How will healthcare change from both a policy and a delivery perspective? Just a few things I ponder often now.
One thing is certain, with great changes and challenges, new opportunities will always arise. Despite all the loss and devastation, much good will come from this when the dust settles. Stay safe everyone!
