Natali__Or Ти Іран подиви 5 померлих Just to be clear, all three came from China: two Chinese tourists and the Italian national returned from Wuhan.

The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 infected approx 500 million people worldwide, about 1/3 of earths population n killed up to 50 million. Today, proportionally, that would equate to over 2 billion infections with 200 million deaths. Covid-19 may not decimate, but the next one ?

Coronavirus live updates: IMF lowers global growth forecast, warns of 'more dire scenarios'China's National Health Commission said 2,345 people have died in the country from the coronavirus, and over 76,288 people are infected. If Trump wasn’t so busy wasting time and taxpayers resources on petty personal revenge missions, he could be on top of this and helping to curb effects—financial & health. Republicans criticized Obama like crazy for Ebola and yet Trump has done zero to combat coronavirus.
