Don't deceive yourself.
India is No.3.
US is No.2.
China is No.1 by a long, long shot.

SINGAPORE — Non-Singaporean travellers arriving from India make up the highest number of imported COVID-19 cases over a five-month period here, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong in a written parliamentary reply on Friday (4 September).
Between 1 April and 31 August, 183 cases who arrived from India had tested positive for the virus here, comprising some 63 per cent of the total of 292 non-Singaporean imported cases the city-state saw in the same period.
This is followed by the Philippines with 46 non-Singaporean imported cases, and Indonesia with 15, said Gan, who is also the COVID-19 multi-ministry taskforce co-chair.
Of the 292 cases, 56 are permanent residents, 110 are work pass holders, 99 are long-term visit holders while 27 are short-term visit pass holders.
Gan was responding to questions raised by Hougang SMC MP Dennis Tan from the Workers’ Party.
On Friday, the Ministry of Health announced 40 more COVID-19 cases, three of which – including a Singaporean – were classified as imported cases from India.
The city-state now has a total of 56,948 COVID-19 cases, of which over 98 per cent have fully recovered while 27 have died.
Meanwhile, India has 3.94 million cases, while the Philippines and Indonesia have over 232,000 and more than 187,00 cases, respectively.
 
India continues to be strong and chasing USA because their citizens are always upgrading themselves.

Finally India can truly :rolleyes:lay claim to being world number one!
 
3 of the top 4 on the list are from the so called BRIC grouping - Brazil, India + India
 
The virus is pretty harmless so don't worry about so called case numbers because hardly anyone is actually sick.

India recorded 90,000 new coronavirus infections on Sunday, overtaking Brazil to become the second-worst infected nation in the pandemic so far.
As of 8 a.m. local time on Monday, India has recorded 4.2 million cases of the coronavirus in India, with 71,000 total deaths, according to a tracker from the Ministry of Health.
Only the US is worse hit, with 6.2 million cases and 188,000 deaths as of Sunday night, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins University.
Brazil, now in third place, has recorded 4.1 million cases and 126,686 deaths as of Sunday night.
India made the leap from recording 3 million to 4 million cases in just 13 days — half the time it took Brazil to achieve the same feat, which it did on Thursday.

Since August 31, India has recorded at least 75,000 new cases per day. On Sunday, the country reported 90,802 new cases along with 1,016 new deaths.
'Behavior fatigue'
The government is attributing the rise in cases to "behavior fatigue," Randeep Guleria, a senior adviser to the government during the pandemic and director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, said Saturday, according to the country's Business Today magazine.
"People are getting tired of wearing masks and tired of taking safety measures," he said.
While the rise in cases is alarming, India still has a low fatality rate, with 1.7% of those who contract the virus dying with it. In comparison, Spain has a rate of 5.9% and the US, 3%.
However, experts observing India's response to the pandemic have criticized the government for not testing enough people and for not correctly identifying virus-related deaths, and say the death rate is likely higher.
Reopening plans resume
Some public services are also going ahead with reopening despite the rise in cases. Metro lines in the densely populated cities of New Delhi and Lucknow reopened on Monday for the first time in months.
Another pressing concern for the Indian government is that the economy has been ravaged by the impact of the pandemic.
The economy contracted more than any G20 country in June, according to the International Monetary Fund, with the economy shrinking 24% in Q2.
India overtook Russia as the country with the third-most coronavirus infections on July 5.
