新型冠状病毒

The tally(总计) by Johns Hopkins University shows that deaths in the US, Brazil and India make up(组成；构成；弥补) nearly half that total.

Experts caution(警示;警告) that the true figure(数据) is probably(或许;大概) much higher.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres called it a "mind-numbing(麻木的；令人心烦意乱的)" figure and "an agonising milestone(令人痛苦的里程碑)".

"Yet we must never lose sight of(忽略) each and every individual life," he said in a video message.

"They were fathers and mothers, wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, friends and colleagues(同事).

The pain has been multiplied(增加) by the savageness(天然的) of this disease."

The pandemic(瘟疫流行) has since spread(蔓延) to 188 countries with more than 32 million(百万) confirmed cases(确诊病例).

Lockdowns(封锁) and other measures(措施) to try to stop the virus spreading(病毒蔓延) have thrown many economies into recession(经济陷入萧条).

Meanwhile, efforts to develop an effective vaccine(有效的疫苗) are continuing - although the World Health Organization(WHO) has warned that the death toll(死亡人数) could hit(冲破) two million before one is widely available(可获得的).

The US has the world's highest death toll with about 205,000 fatalities(死亡人数；死亡率) followed by Brazil on 141,700 and India with 95,500 deaths.

约翰霍普金斯大学(Johns Hopkins University)的统计显示，美国、巴西和印度的死亡人数占总死亡人数的近一半。

专家警告说，真实的数字可能要高得多。

联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯称其为“令人麻木的”数字和“令人痛苦的里程碑”。

“但我们绝不能忽视每一个人的生活，”他在视频中说。

“他们是父母、妻子、丈夫、兄弟姐妹、朋友和同事。这种疾病的野蛮加剧了痛苦。”

自那以来，大流行已蔓延到188个国家，确诊病例超过3200万例。为阻止病毒传播而采取的封锁和其他措施已使许多经济体陷入衰退。

与此同时，开发一种有效疫苗的努力仍在继续——尽管世界卫生组织(WHO)警告说，在广泛获得一种疫苗之前，死亡人数可能会达到200万。

美国的死亡人数为全球最高，约20.5万人，其次是巴西(14.17万人)和印度(9.55万人)。
