7.5 Million Coronavirus Cases

Make no mistake about it, Covid-19 is still alive and kicking!

Yesterday, it touched 7.5 million lives so far. FYI, it took a mere four days to add on another half a million cases.

In spite of the ballooning numbers, most countries have made up their minds to abandon their bunkers. And they’ve started to invest in post-coronavirus recovery. 

There is this realization that, like it or not, we must co-exist with SARS-CoV-2, as we have done with very many other germs and viruses that surround us daily.

WHO's special envoy for Covid-19, David Nabarro (left) had said: "We have all got to learn to live with this virus, to do our business with this virus in our presence, to have social relations with this virus in our presence and not to be continuously having to be in lockdown because of the widespread infections that can occur". 

I have always said and I stand by it that the best way to protect ourselves is by boosting our immune health, no two ways about it.

Latin America, for sure, is a hot spot – the pandemic reached another grim new milestone on Thursday with total cases exceeding 1.5 million and which represents almost 20% of the world total. It has already witnessed 70,000 deaths a day earlier.

The 7 most-affected countries combined make up 94.4% and 96.8% of the total number of cases and fatalities in Latin America respectively.
