Of the malnourished children population in the world, 80% live in Asia, 15% in Africa, and 5% in Latin America.

The Enzyme Commission refers to this family as SARS coronavirus main proteinase (M pro; EC 3.4.22.69). The 3CL protease corresponds to coronavirus nonstructural protein 5 (nsp5). The "3C" in the common name refers to the 3C protease (3C pro ) which is a homologous protease found in picornaviruses .
The true COVID-19 death toll in the United States would therefore be higher than official reports, as modeled by a paper published in The Lancet Regional Health – Americas.
