Covid-19:possible peak of the epidemic in Italy, 3,000 deaths in France, 160,000 cases in the United States, update on the pandemic

As the number of cases literally explodes in the United States, an expert believes that the number of deaths could be really very important. The person concerned has indeed mentioned a range between 100 and 200,000 deaths! In France, the bar of 3,000 deaths has been crossed. On the other hand, if Italy sees no respite in the number of deaths, the drop in new daily cases could mean that the peak of the epidemic is being exceeded.

USA 'Struck to the Heart'

As Le Figaro says , President Donald Trump spoke on March 30, 2020. The Head of State extended the period of restrictions until April 30. Recall that the latter had recently given up confining the city of New York (914 deaths). With a balance sheet reporting 164,274 confirmed cases for approximately 2,500 deaths , the United States is seeing its situation worsen very quickly. In addition, the peak of deaths in this country should arrive in two weeks, still according to Donald Trump.

The US president also confirmed the figures of an expert, although these are very alarming. The latter estimates that with a final toll between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths , the authorities will have done a good job. The expert also thinks that if no action had been taken, this same toll could turn around 2 million deaths! In any case, it will be a very heavy toll, visibly more than any other country in the world.

More than 3,000 deaths in France

On the evening of March 30, 2020, France had 45,170 cases and 3,024 deaths . Thus, the number of deaths in our country is now very close to the official balance sheet in China (3,305). Quoted by Le Monde , Director General of Health Jérôme Salomon said that around 21,000 people are hospitalized. Of these patients, 5,107 are in intensive care , or 475 more in a single day. It should also be noted that 34% of patients are under 60 years old. Of these, 64 are under 30 years old. We should also mention more than 7,950 people rescued and therefore free to return to their homes.

Recall in passing thatthe Île-de-France region is in the most worrying situation with a total of 954 deaths. In a single day, authorities reported 147 additional deaths and 597 new patients admitted to hospital, for a total of 7,689.

Elsewhere in the world

In Europe, Italy now has more than 100,000 confirmed cases for 11,591 deaths, 4,000 new cases of infections were declared on Monday, a figure that has been falling for several days. If this country has fallen to second place after the United States in terms of the number of cases, it remains far ahead of all the others in terms of the number of deaths.

We then find Spain, totaling 87,956 cases for 7,716 deaths. We should also mention Germany, which with 66,885 cases still does well with its low number of deaths (645). The other very affected European countries are the United Kingdom (22,454 cases / 1,408 deaths), Switzerland (15,922 / 359) Belgium (11,899 / 513) and the Netherlands (11,817 / 864).

In the Middle East, Iran is stabilizing but still has 41,495 cases and 2,757 deaths. While the epidemic is generally contained in Asia, South America is seeing its toll gradually increase. These include Brazil (4,661 cases / 165 deaths) and other countries such as Chile and Ecuador. In Africa, there is concern, although the epidemic is progressing more slowly than elsewhere. Finally, the global toll reports about 782,000 cases for more than 37,000 deaths and approximately 163,000 healings.
