Nations around the world set new records Thursday, April 8, for COVID-19 deaths and new coronavirus infections, and the disease surged even in some countries that have kept the virus in check. Brazil became just the second country, after the U.S., to report a 24-hour tally of COVID-19 deaths exceeding 4,000. (Photo by Felipe Dana/AP Photo/File)
