Maintaining a strong presence, COVID-19 is at central USA, and central Brazil. Also, west Russia, South Africa. Turkey and Western Europe, areas that have high numbers, likely with respect to how held relative.

In summary, it appears that the USA is at about the number one spot in number of cases as it stands right now, number two India.

There may very well be a double team set of missile strikes going on on Iran, subject to differing views; however there are still a number of situations going on globally that are weighted, such as violence in different areas of where the Sahel and Northern Africa meet, situations of starvation in the eastern areas of the belt as well; and missile strikes in other regions.
