The grim toll of Europe’s third wave is also clear. The Czech Republic, Italy, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Poland have all climbed above the UK into the global top 20.
Latin America’s urban hotspots have endured an especially brutal year.
Deaths in the Peruvian capital Lima have been almost triple the norm. In Mexico City they’ve been double usual levels, and in Manaus almost the same.
