The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a worldwide problem for health authorities and the World Health Organization WHO, this article aims to show a summary of the behavior of this pandemic throughout the month of September, as well as the accumulated figures from its beginning until the end of September 30, 2021, It is a reality thSource: own preparationat what you can read below shows a significant decrease in infections and deaths in recent days, although this does not indicate that we should not worry about this painful disease, because an oversight can bring an increase in these variables mentioned above, in turn we can discuss the behavior of a very important indicator, which is the case fatality rate, ie, the number of people who die for every 100 people who are infected.
Analysis of infections and deaths of people in the World
The image above shows the behavior of the virus during the month of September 2021 in the world, where we can see that there is a trend towards a decrease in infections and deaths, only in the month of September 15.8 million people were infected approximately and 259.2 thousand people died to obtain a case fatality rate of 1.64%, i.e. for every 100 people who acquire the virus, 1.64 die from this disease.
To date, a total of 234.3 million people have been infected by the COVID-19 pandemic and approximately 4.8 million human beings have died, for a lethality rate of 2.05%.
If we notice and establish a comparison between the month of September with respect to the entire course of the pandemic, we notice that the decrease in terms of the case fatality rate has been considerable, and at the same time if we rely on the trend of the following graph, we can notice the daily decrease in terms of this important indicator, that is, we started the first day of September with a case fatality rate for the world of 2.50% and at the end of this month it is 2.46%.
Analysis of human infections and deaths in the Americas
There is a slight difference in the behavior of the pandemic in the Americas compared to the world in this period we are analyzing, if we rely on the previous image, we can see that in the month of September 2021 5.9 million people have been infected by the virus and of these have died about 107.1 thousand, these figures show a case fatality rate of 1.82%.
Since the first case was reported in the Americas, 90.9 million people have been infected by the Coronavirus and 2.2 million of them have died, for a case fatality rate of 2.46%.
As we can analyze, the American continent has higher infection and death rates than those reported worldwide according to both analyses, regardless of the fact that the following graph shows a decrease in the case fatality rate and a tendency to continue decreasing.
In conclusion, it is convenient to advise everyone to take care of themselves to avoid contagion, because a few seconds ago you finish reading these statistics that I propose here and apparently they are just numbers, but the sad reality is that these numbers represent people, human beings who have lost their lives, people of all ages, including some with a whole future ahead of them, with dreams, plans, projects, etc., people who perhaps were a friend, a sibling or parent of someone who just read this article, people who may have been a friend, a sibling or a parent of someone who has just read this article, so here below I propose some of the measures that should always be taken into account to avoid contagion by this dreaded virus.
