Brazil on Pace to Surpass U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll in July, Researchers Warn
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to record over 30,000 new cases daily, with the official death toll now
at over 46,000 - though researchers say that's a significant

Medicine predicts Brazil will surpass the United States in July to
become the nation with the world's highest death toll from COVID-19.
