Corona virus: over
70,000 deaths worldwide, most difficult this week in US
More than 70,000 people have lost
their lives worldwide due to the Corona virus born from China, but this week
may be the toughest for US deaths and new cases.
There
have been 9,628 deaths so far in the United States due to the Corona virus, out
of which around 5,000 have been reported so far this week, while the number of
patients has reached close to 373,000.
The US state
of New York, Michigan and Louisiana continues to have fatalities that have put
US officials in serious concern.
"The
current situation is as difficult for us as Pearl Harbor and 9/11," said
US surgeon general Jerome Adams.
Meanwhile,
the outbreak also killed Captain Brett Crozier, the captain of the US aircraft
carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. They had already warned that the Corona virus
had spread on the ship. This led to Crozier's dismissal.
According to
the New York Times, US Defense Secretary Mark Asper announced the dismissal of
Captain Crozier. A few hours after the verdict, the results of Crozier's Corona
test came out, which was positive.
Esper told
US News Channel AB that U.S. Navy Minister Thomas Modley made the
"difficult decision" to remove Brett Crozier from the command of the
US Navy "USS Roosevelt." The aircraft operates with nuclear energy.
In response
to a question, Asper replied that the decision was not from President Trump but
from the Navy minister. They informed me to which I told them that I would
support this decision.
In addition,
the White House received the first official report of the Corona virus in China
on January 3, according to the Washington Post, but the administration took 70
days to decide to fight the pandemic.
On the other
hand, the death toll from the Corona virus in Italy has dropped to the lowest
level in two weeks, while the rate of new cases is steadily declining.
The virus
has so far killed 15,887 people and affected 281,000 in Italy.
The number
of Corona victims in Spain is higher than in Italy, but the rate of new cases
has been gradually decreasing over the past three days. Spain has so far
affected 311,646 people and 12,641 have been killed.
The global
epidemic is even more alarming in the UK where 4,934 people have lost their
lives so far and more than 47,000 have been affected.
British
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has not yet been able to get rid of the Corona
virus and has been taken to a hospital for treatment.
In Japan,
the government is considering a six-month emergency in the capital Tokyo, Osaka
and two other areas in the wake of the Corona virus.
The Corona
virus has so far devoured 85 human lives in Japan, with more than 3,000 people
affected by the outbreak.
In China,
where the world's first Corona virus was diagnosed, the death toll has risen to
3,331 after two more deaths, while the number of victims has risen to 81,708
after 39 new cases were reported.
It is
thought that the Corona virus has infected more than 1.25 million people
worldwide, of which more than 70,000 have died.
