Fungal Infection Statistics
The present new cases per million of the United Kingdom are about 60 times the present new fatalities per million of India (646.96 vs. 10.70). The present new fatalities per million of the United Kingdom are about 10 times the present new fatalities per million of India (2.13 vs. 0.37). Despite the much higher percentage of fully vaccinated, the outlook for the United Kingdom is much worse than the outlook for India.
It was reported as the fatalities of India were also caused by bacterial and fungal infections [2, 4, 5].

It was then reported as an epidemic of “black fungus” cases [2, 4] was a further driver of fatalities. Mucormycosis [6,7,8,9], a normally rare infection, has a huge case-fatality rate of~50% [10], much larger than the about 1.15% case-fatality-rate at the time for COVID-19 in India. Very few cases were reported of an extremely rare, but even more deadliest “white fungus”
