895 newlt confirmed cases have been reported by WHO and the total reached 29669.
However, this is not the truth. Quite a lot of countries did not release their data today, so that they were omitted by WHO.
These countries include the US, the UK, Mexico and Australia.
But this can be a change for people to have a view at some other countries who have contributed their data:
Argentina, 87 confirmed cases increased, from 256 to 343; Canada, 532 increased, from 2446 to 2978; Spain, 131 increased, from 357 to 488.
If we see things as a whole through all the available data from countries, some conclusion can be made as:
The "traditional" worst continent is the North Amarica, led by the US, Mexico, and Canada.
The "newly" worst continent is Australia, it itself contributed to the WHO's decision to raise the alert level from 5 to 6.
The third worst continent is Europe, led by the UK, Spain, Italy.
The fourth one, which is now having a really powerful trend to surpass Europe, is the South America, led by Chile, Argentina.
Asia has been involved in a pretty mild situation so far. But with the largest population there, the pressure would never be loosen in this continent.
Africa, now, seems having a very good condition compared to other parts of the globe. However, this might not true. As some "few expectation" announced by WHO, this may only because lack of effective reporting system, lack of detective/preventive method, lack of awareness of people, due to poor level of medical/health/social infrastructure and too many other dealy desease to deal with. That is, based on this "expectation", things may getting even worse in this "so-far-good-looking" continent.
