COVID-19 | Top 10 Global Developments this Friday Morning

Date:

Half of humanity is in a state of lockdown bravely fighting the effects of this deadly Coronavirus.

Here are the top 10 developments this Friday morning-

1. Globally, the number of positive cases has crossed a million and the number of deaths has crossed over 52,000.

2. The situation in the US is particularly worrying as it has emerged as a new epicenter with around a quarter of the total cases. The number stands at 245,070.

3. Some States have enforced lockdowns and others are reluctant to do so. This lack of uniformity is hampering the efforts to contain the virus. A federal strategy seems to be lacking.

4. White House Sources have also confirmed that US President Donald Trump has tested negative for COVID-19, once again.

5. In terms of the total number of cases, the US and other key EU nations such as Italy, Spain and Germany have more than half of the total number of cases, remaining as the hot spots of the viral growth.

6. In terms of a number of causalities, the European nations of Italy, Spain and France have over half of the number of total deaths. They also are the nations reporting the largest number of deaths, globally.

7. In the UK, concerns have emerged on the burgeoning health infrastructure and enforcement of an effective lockdown.

8. President Donald Trump has continued to question the transparency involved in reporting the number of cases and total deaths from China and has questioned the veracity of it, even as the WHO ducks the questions being posed to it.

9. The WHO has said that testing of vaccines and field trials associated with it will commence soon even as 74 nations across the world have acquiesced to the protocol.

10. The economic effects of COVID-19 is set to wreak havoc across, especially of developing nations. UN has warned of the need for an immediate infusion of capital to tide over the crisis. This development comes even as it is business as usual in the urban centers of China.
