An Orgy of Infections and Deaths

If New York state is a country, it would have been No.5 in the world to report the highest coronavirus fatality rate! 

Its death toll topped 10,000 – 10,056 to be precise (actually, imprecisely precise, if you know what I mean) as it tallied 671 new deaths on Sunday and hospitals were still seeing 2,000 new patients a day. 

Nationally, there were more than 580,000 infections and more than 23,000 deaths on Monday, according to the Johns Hopkins University tally.

Yesterday, India and Ireland breached the 10,000 infection tally; Israel and Sweden did it on Saturday.

Earlier, on March 31, Austria’s tally of confirmed cases topped 10,000, and this was followed by South Korea two days later.

And Russia recorded its highest daily jump with 2,558 new infections. In fact, its president, Vladimir Putin acknowledged on Monday that the coronavirus situation is getting worse in the country.

Meanwhile, Singapore's health ministry on the same day, i.e. Monday, confirmed another 386 Covid-19 cases in the city-state's biggest daily jump, taking its total to 2,918. All these were locally transmitted cases.

The global death toll has reached 120,000 as cases crossed beyond 1.9 million as at yesterday. Covid-19 is still working up an orgy of infections and deaths.

When will this all end? Sigh, the MCO is driving me up the wall.
