How many people are currently affected and currently dead cause of covid-
19

At the time of this answer, the confirmed cases worldwide is 703,119 while the death toll is 33,668. However, this only includes the confirmed cases, and in reality, there are probably many times more people who have covid-19.

Addressing how many people are affected, not just the people who have it, over a third of the world population, or billions of people, have been affected due to government actions attempting to limit the spread of the virus.

Addressing deaths, even though the death toll is 33,668, many other people will die because of there not being enough hospital beds since covid-19 patients are occupying them. For example, a person who has cancer may not be able to get a bed because of the number of covid-19 cases, so the person with cancer would die even though they don't have covid-19, so the indirect death toll includes more deaths.
