The Friday Five – By the Numbers on COVID

May 21, 2021 | Posted by Maureen | Healthcare, HIT Feed |

Fourteen months after what the majority of our country thought was going to be just a two week shut down, we now know the statistics surrounding the coronavirus global pandemic change constantly. From reported cases, recovered cases, deaths, vaccine progress, doses administered, to fully vaccinated regions, COVID-19 data changes quickly and frequently. How many cases are  worldwide compared to in the United States? How many approved vaccines are there and how is my state doing when it comes to fully vaccinated the population? For today’s Friday Five we take a closer look at COVID-19 by the numbers.

Cases: Active

There have been 164,913,259 worldwide confirmed COVID-19 cases. In the United States alone, there are 33,207,442 confirmed cases. For the most up-to-date numbers in any region the COVID-19 Tracker gets its information from both the CDC, the WHO, and more.

#COVID19 cases are decreasing nationwide, but they’re still high in some parts of the country. The 7-day average of new daily cases decreased 18.5% compared with the previous week. Keep doing your part to slow the spread. Get vaccinated. More: https://t.co/gp6X4zTnBT. pic.twitter.com/VWiaQuJHNK

Cases: Fatal

Of the 164,913,259 worldwide confirmed cases, 3,417,961 have died from this disease. The United States reports 593,533 deaths. For the most up-to-date numbers in any region the COVID-19 Tracker gets its information from both the CDC, the WHO, and more.

As of May 17, national forecasts predict 1,200–4,600 new #COVID19 deaths will be reported during the week ending June 12. That would bring the projected total number of U.S. deaths to 594,000–604,000. More: https://t.co/rcqjOX3Ypl. pic.twitter.com/FhS5OFYRZZ

Vaccines in Phase 3 Clinical Trials As of February 27, 2021, large-scale (Phase 3) clinical trials are in progress or being planned for two COVID-19 vaccines in the United States:

  • AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine

• 2 weeks after 1 dose of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 Vaccinehttps://t.co/YrWuIXfAxW. pic.twitter.com/knafl54kwK
