I checked it. It seems that to turn on the exposure logging, some other approved tracking app is required. Any idea what those are?

Coronavirus Cases:
28,938,095
view by country

Deaths:
924,558

Recovered:
20,805,760
Now, math is not my strong suit, but if I take all the corona virus cases and minus the recoveries

28,938,095 - 20,805,760 = 8,132,335.

So if I take the 8,132,335 and minus 924,558 deaths = 7,207,777 unaccounted for.....

What am I doing wrong? What is with these 7.2 million people who didn't die but didn't recover either?

Something doesn't add up.....

I think the number you wonder about are those who are still sick.

OK thanks....so this would be those ranging from non-symptomatic to those serious enough to be hospitalized?

So this would be those with the virus but not considered "recovered"?

Recovered is a mess according to what I read on worldometer

Recoveries = this statistic is highly imperfect, because reporting can be missing, incomplete, incorrect, based on different definitions, or dated (or a combination of all of these) for many governments, both at the local and national level, sometimes with differences between states within the same country or counties within the same state. WHO recommends following the criteria of [symptoms resolve + 2 negative tests within 24 hours] or [symptoms resolve + additional 14 days], but this is only a recommendation. In some countries, when a patient is discharged from the hospital it is counted as "recovered" even if no test is performed. Some health officials now consider anyone who was diagnosed with COVID-19 three or more weeks ago and has not died to be recovered from the disease. In view of this, "Active Cases" and "Closed Cases Outcome" which both depend on the number of recoveries (in addition to an accurate death count and a satisfactory rate of case detection, both of which are lacking in the vast majority of countries) can be affected by this inherent flaw for many countries and for the total worldwide count.
