According to the university's data, countries with over 130,000 fatalities include Mexico, Russia, Peru, the UK, and Italy.

In the 22 months following the start of the outbreak, hotspots have shifted; the virus is currently wreaking havoc on Russia, Ukraine, and other parts of Eastern Europe. The limited number of fully vaccinated adults plays a major role in assisting virus transmission, as can be seen in Ukraine and Armenia where vaccinated adults constitute 17 percent and 7 percent of the population respectively.

Despite the terrifying Delta variant surge, which peaked in early May, India now has a much lower reported daily death rate than wealthier countries such as Russia, the US, or Britain, though its figures are uncertain.

It is worth mentioning that global COVID-19 deaths hit 1 million on Sept. 28, 2020, reached 3 million on April 17 before surpassing 4 million on July 7.
