The world-o-meter data poses number of questions which need to be explored and have opened the avenues for further research. May there be an educationist, sociologist, scientist, research, critical thinkers etc.
1- The sudden surge of COVID-19 in USA, Italy and Spain during March let the researchers and thinkers wonder if this is the first wave or second.
2- The deaths per million between Asians and Europe and between Asians and USA have elevated queries as to what contributes more deaths in USA and Europe to this pandemic?
a- Is this the eating habit?
b- Is this the immunity power?
c- Is the climate the contributor?
d- Healthcare system or leadership?
3. The decisions by government for softening the lock-down were based on flattening of curve or any other factor which is not surfacing right now.
4. For academicians and educationists how were the relationships between teachers and students existed during crisis.
a- Were the students able to share the pain and perceived stress out of this scenario to their teachers?
b- How the learning took place while in crisis?
Any other research areas that you like to addon.

Worldometer has good COVID-19 data to be used for epidemiological research
Worldometer Data of COVID-19 is providing wealth of tests done, tests per million population, population of the country, total cases reported, total deaths and total cases recovered.
For USA, the data is also available for different states.
Caveats: You can not know the age-wize and gender-wise data. Some of the countries have not correctly declared the tests done or recovered cases and have some missing data.
This is a difficult question. Not all countries are representative of this data. Regards, Pushkin Sergey Viktorovich
In the end in a few months we will have demographic data which will show the extra death registered which could be attributed to Covid and show the real extent of the pandemic and also the degree of transparency and accuracy of the actual data
I am an economist
Dear Munira Tharwani , one of the major characteristics of this pandemic is the paradoxal and contradicted studies. Be it on the nature of the virus itself or even the cures (Chloroquine as an eg).

In addition to the topics raised.
1. Psychological pain and fear of death.
2. Crisis management in educational systems.
3. E-learning effectiveness for applied science students.
Finally, we may review our spending on scientific research in developing countries.
