Mortalities attributed to the virus, for example, are often measured in the thousands of people per day globally-but is this number a little or a lot, relative to typical causes of death?
Today's graphic uses data from Our World in Data to provide context with the total number of worldwide daily deaths.
The disease causes over 2,600 daily deaths on average.
Below are the total deaths from all causes for selected countries, based on 2017 data.
With 34.7 daily deaths per million people each day, Russia has the highest deaths proportional to population out of any of these countries.
On the flipside, since WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020, daily confirmed deaths have fallen in a wide range between 272 and 10,520 per day-and there is no telling what could happen in the future.
Testing rates for the virus may vary between jurisdictions, and there have also been disagreements between authorities on how deaths should even be tallied in the first place.
