If the contagion figures reported by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Science and Systems Engineering are analyzed, it is evident that the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic continues to be America, since of the ten countries that lead the list, six belong to the continent. Mexico and Argentina are in the eighth and tenth position, respectively.
