Methodology:  Year-to-date figures are calculated mathematically: (annual rate ÷ 31,557,600 seconds) × seconds elapsed since Jan 1 of the current year. They are statistical estimates derived from published annual data, not real-time reported counts — consistent with how services such as Worldometers present running totals. Static figures reflect the most recent available publication from the named source. All sources are cited inline.
