World corona infected patients exceed Japan's population

Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs recognizes 165 countries around the world. In addition, 163 countries around the world are members of WHO. The number of people infected with coronavirus is increasing every day in the world. But we can't imagine how many corona-infected people are in the world. Because we live in a daily life where aircraft do not fly and people are closed to the inside and outside of Japan..
   Coronavirus infection spread from Wuhan to the world in December 2019. According to a report from John Hopkins University, the number of patients exceeded 50 million in November 2020 and reached more than 100 million on January 27, 2021. And on March 26, it was reported that 125,641,000 people worldwide were infected with the new coronavirus. It exceeds the estimated population of 125.57 million in Japan announced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on January 1, 2021.


In other words, if the world population in 2021 is estimated to be 8 billion, one in 64 people in the world will be Japanese, and as of today, one in 64 people will be infected with the new coronavirus.
