September 24, 2020 India has reported another 86,508 new coronavirus cases.

India now has more than 5.7 million cases, the second country in the world for the number of infections.

The health ministry also said another 1,129 people died, for a total of 91,149.

Young Indian Minister of Railways Suresh Angadi died Wednesday, nearly two weeks after being admitted to a New Delhi hospital with Covid-19.

He is the Federal Prime Minister and the fourth Indian MP to die from the disease.



However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday stigmatized the short local blockades imposed in some places and said the country must not only continue to fight the virus, but also move forward with courage on the economic front.

Modi asked states to focus on testing, tracking, treatment and surveillance.

He said the restrictions have affected the smooth movement of goods and services, including medical supplies.

Biden to Trump: "They were nobody"


In the US, updated data from Johns Hopkins University speak of nearly 7 million cases (6,934,205) and nearly 202,000 victims (201,909).

Numbers that trigger the attack of Democratic candidate for the White House, Joe Biden, who in a tweet attacks Donald Trump: "The 200,000 people who lost their lives due to Covid-19 were 'nobody', Mr. President".

They were our parents and grandparents, sons and daughters, friends and colleagues - urges Biden - they were Americans. "In recent days the Tycoon had argued that the coronavirus is not a threat to the young and" virtually no hitting anyone. "

Brazil, nearly 139,000 deaths. 'Herd immunity' may have been achieved in Manaus


According to a study still in the preliminary phase , the Brazilian city of Manaus, ravaged by the Coronavirus pandemic, may have suffered so many infections that its population now benefits from herd immunity. Published on the medRxiv website,

the study analyzed the infection data with mathematical models to estimate that 66% of the population of Manaus had antibodies against the novel Coronavirus, where the passage of the pandemic was as fast as it was brutal.



It may be high enough to have reached the herd immunity threshold, in which enough members of a population are immune to a disease that can no longer spread effectively, the study authors said, a group of 34 Brazilian and international researchers.

"The unusually high infection rate suggests that herd immunity played a significant role in determining the size of the outbreak," reads the study, which has yet to be reviewed.



"All the signs indicate that it was precisely being so exposed to the virus that led to the reduction in the number of new cases and deaths in Manaus," study coordinator, University of San Francisco professor told Sao Paulo. Paolo, Ester Sabino, of the Paulo State Research Support Foundation (Fapesp), who helped fund the study.

Located in the Amazon rainforest, Manaus was the scene of gruesome images of overrun hospitals, mass graves and corpses piled up in refrigerated trucks when the pandemic was at its peak in May.

But deaths in the city of 2.2 million people have dropped dramatically in recent weeks, to an average of just 3.6 per day over the past 14 days.

Manaus is now one of the fastest-reopening cities from lockdown in Brazil, the country with the second highest death toll in the world, after the United States, with nearly 139,000 deaths (33,281 in the last 24 hours, 869 deaths).
