An exhaustive survey by The New York Times shows how the coronavirus situation is in the world today, compared to the previous seven days.
Argentina is in the group of countries where
cases are high and remain high
, with an average of
11,368 daily cases
in the last week, along with the United Kingdom, Israel, the United States, Colombia and Italy, among others.
This Sunday he was
ranked 15th
.
All of the other countries mentioned returned to
lockdown
, to varying degrees.
Here, since this Friday, the application of restrictions for night traffic fell to the governors.
The analysis shows which are the countries in which the cases
are accelerating the most
in recent weeks and the focus of comparison "in the short term" is crucial because the pandemic is diminishing in some of the countries that were badly affected from the beginning of its outbreaks, but the number of new cases
is growing faster than ever worldwide
, with an average of more than 500,000 reported per day.

Argentina was located in that
critical picture
in terms of the rise of infected people, since the American newspaper considered that any country with more than 5 million inhabitants that reports at least 4 new infections per day per 100,000 inhabitants in the previous seven days, should turn on your alarms.
In recent days, Argentina reported
26 new infections
per 100,000 inhabitants.
According to the daily part of the Ministry of Health of the Nation, this Thursday 13,835 new cases of coronavirus were added in Argentina.
That number broke the previous day's mark, with 13,790 new cases and the highest number in more than two months.
Then 13,346 infected were reported on Friday and 11,057 on Saturday.
This
in crescendo
of weekly infections places our country on the same comparative scale as the United Kingdom, with the difference that in that country, according to these NYT data, the average of new cases per 100,000 inhabitants is 90. In Israel, 81;
United States, 77;
Colombia, 30 (country that has already restricted night traffic);
and Italy, 28.
What about our neighbors?
Chile, Bolivia, and Brazil are in the same picture as Argentina: they have sustained high and rising cases.
The borders are still closed and the Executive plans to further restrict international flights.
In total, Argentina has registered 1,714,409 infections and
4,417 deaths
from coronavirus
until this Sunday
.
But our country does not appear in the "red box" of which more people die from the virus every 14 days.
Although our death toll is high, the key is the previous two weeks that were taken as a parameter for the analysis.
As they explain, "the delay between when people are infected, when they die, and when those deaths are reported is typical. Some deaths reported in the last two weeks may have occurred much earlier."
In the case of Argentina, delays in registering deaths occurred more than once.
From the figures provided by the official reports of the Nation and the Ministry of Health of the City, today it can be stated that the cases of
coronavirus have
grown steadily in the AMBA since the long weekend of December 8.
So, the city of Buenos Aires had 276 cases per day (average of the previous week).
Now, 795, almost a triplication that supposes a doubling time of 16 days.
Same as in May-June.
In the province of Buenos Aires, on December 7 there were 1,248 new daily cases and as of December 31 there were 2,921, a doubling time of 20 days, as occurred in June.
The setback in terms of "exit" from the pandemic is marked by local figures.
The
in crescendo
of contagions is shown by the international map, which today puts Argentina as a country that faced a weak outbreak at the beginning, with a quarantine of 9 months, and now begins to show figures that once again raise the already almost " forgotten "contagion curve.
