million (78,005,344) popular votes.

US election is a biggest and the most important election has taken place in the current COVID-19 Pandemic. Handling of the COVID-19 situation is one of the important issue which has titled the election victory away from Trump, who has got 47.4% popular votes with the 232 electoral votes in the US Presidential election 2020

At present COVID-19 is affecting 217 countries ( Vanuatu is the 217th country)and territories around the world and 2 international conveyances.

The global total confirmed COVID-19 cases has crossed over 53 million mark (53,738,180) with 1,309,147 deaths and 37,519,510 recovered cases as of on 13.11.2020. On 13.11.2020 the single day spike of COVID-19 cases were highest with the number of 656,180 during this Pandemic.

In the 46th week of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the epicenter of COVID-19 has revisited the US and the single day new cases are increasing in number and it is in ever highest number of 183,527 on 13.11.2020 .
