Cumulative Confirmed COVID-19 Cases

Corona Corona

The coronavirus seems to have been downplayed or shrugged off in this country for some reason, yet the WHO is now referring to it as a global crisis.  I couldn't help thinking about what would happen if a terrorist somehow got a hold of this virus or Ebola, for example, and infected people at the Super Bowl or other large gathering. Better to blow it all out of proportion and be safe than minimize it and pay the consequences.

If you want to see what's really happening, check out this coronavirus tracker from The Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering. It shows you the number of confirmed cases by country as well as the number of people who have recovered or died.

Argus Hamilton has a quip for the occasion: "China's government quarantined cities in Hunan Province where the Corona Virus is believed to have originated. The concern over its spread is escalating. An arriving Chinese citizen caused a wild stampede at L.A. Airport when he identified himself to Immigration officers as Ah Chu."

And Stephen Kruiser helps to debunk the moronic myth that this virus has something to do with Corona brand beer.

Nice blog. Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness from ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases. Here you have given important facts of this virus which were revealed by China's government. Really this is useful information. Thanks for sharing. Apart from this article, I learned about hammerhead shark which is the largest of all hammerhead species.
