As the COVID-19 commonly referred to as the Coronavirus grips the world, the death tole continues to surge across many developed nations. What originally began as an internal disease outbreak in the Chinese province of Wuhan has now engulfed the world.
Within the past 24 hundreds have died across Europe in North America. The epidemic has led to dozens of cities across the Western world being put under complete lock down, reminiscent of martial law in many places.
Listed below are the staggering statistics over the past 24 hours.
- Spain reports 285 fatalities.
- France reports 122 fatalities.
- Italy reports 793 deaths.
- The UK reported 56 deaths.
- The US reported 84 deaths.
Combined death tole for these countries are 1,340. The death rate in Italy remains unprecedented, with the deaths of nearly 800 people alone. Health officials are dumbfounded and have no clue what to do. Making the situation worse is the lack of a vaccine to counter the disease. This has only been made worse by the fast spread of the disease which was unexpected.
Hospitals and medical staff in many of these countries are overwhelmed. As basic supplies such as face masks and gloves are dwindling, the situation is only bound to deteriorate in the coming weeks and months.
