It’s now 52 million cases worldwide!
Italy surpassed the 1 million infections mark – becoming the tenth country to reach this milestone.
And of the countries with 100,000 or more cases, Ethiopia is the fifty-sixth country to join their ranks. Cumulatively, these countries account for 94.5% and 96.1% of global cases and deaths respectively.
Even with the surging cases, no country is likely to want to impose a total lockdown. Wary of crippling the economy and destroying jobs, governments are stressing the importance of hygiene, social distancing and targeted measures in affected areas instead.
Whether they want to formally acknowledge it or not – they are already learning to co-exist with Covid-19. That is today's reality.

I’m sure we will see him again next year!
