ArmInfo also decided to look at the statistics of cases of pneumonia  with a non-defined pathogen and the flu with pneumonia caused by a  virus in Armenia.

So, according to the data of the Statistical Committee of the  Republic of Armenia, in the Q1 of 2020, there were 3814 of them,  against 4352 in the same period of 2019. According to the same data,  in the Q1 of 2020, 755 people or 19.8% of the total number of  patients died from respiratory diseases (the report does not specify  which ones). Meanwhile, in the same period of 2019, there were 929 or  21.3% of those.

Thus, based on statistics, it is safe to say that last year both the  number of cases and the mortality rate were higher than in the same  period of the current year.

At the same time, the USA remains the leader in the number of  detected cases of COVID-19 in the world.  According to the American  Johns Hopkins University, the country is aware of 1.79 million cases  and more than 104 thousand deaths from the effects of infection.  However, in the United States at least 444 thousand people have  recovered from the virus.

Brazil is in second place, where at least 514 thousand people are  ill, follows from university statistics. In this country, more than  29 thousand people died from coronavirus infection and more than 206  thousand recovered.

To note, while Brazil is not among the three countries - leaders in  terms of mortality from COVID-19. The United States holds the first  place in this group, the United Kingdom (over 38.5 thousand) and  Italy (over 33.4 thousand) hold the second and third positions,  Brazil ranks 4th in this list.
