The US is at the forefront with six million patient deaths, respectively. It is followed by Brazil (5.2 lakh), India (4 lakh), Mexico (2.3 lakh) and Peru (1.9 lakh). More than a million patients have died in Russia, England, Italy, France and Colombia.

Of these 10 countries, India has the lowest death toll at 287 per 100,000 population, with Russia at 916, France, Mexico at between 1,000 and 2,000 in the United States and England. Peru has the highest ratio of these countries. Here 5૭65 patients per one lakh population have died.
