Covid-19:nearly 280,000 cases in the United States, more than 6,500 deaths in France, the United Kingdom in bad shape, the point on the pandemic

The incredible spike in Covid-19 coronavirus cases and deaths continues in the United States. At the same time, France has more than 6,500 deaths while the UK in turn suffers a surge in cases. Nearly 60,000 deaths have been reported worldwide since the start of the pandemic.

The United States, the next epicenter of the pandemic

For more than a week, the United States has been dealing with a surge in Covid-19 cases. This is logically accompanied by an explosion of deaths. As of the evening of April 3, 2020, this country had 277,828 confirmed cases for more than 7,087 deaths . While Europe remains the area most affected by the pandemic, the United States is set to become the new epicenter.

Now about 90% of the inhabitants have been instructed to remain confined, except for activities deemed essential. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will publish guidelines on how to protect your face in the coming days. Indeed, the authorities have claimed that citizens should not feel safe with the only wearing of the protective mask.

More than 6,500 deaths in France

France now has 65,202 confirmed cases for 6,507 deaths . It should be noted that this total of deaths is the result of the addition of those occurring in nursing homes and in hospitals. However, the director general of health Jérôme Salomon indicated that this number was still far from reality. Indeed, only 3,000 of the 10,600 establishments in the country have sent their data back.

In addition, our country is still facing great difficulty in obtaining supplies of masks. The significant demand from the United States and other European countries towards China seems to generatea real tension.

Covid-19 elsewhere in the world

The United Kingdom now finds itself in a very delicate situation since its balance sheet has increased significantly. Indeed, this country now has 38,690 cases for 3,605 deaths . Thus, the UK's toll is similar to that of Iran, where the outbreak appears to be slowing. In addition, you should know that Spain is catching up with Italy. The Iberian neighbor now has 119,199 cases for 11,198 deaths . On the Italian side, the authorities deplored 119,827 cases for 14,681 deaths . If these two results are very close, this is also a sign that the epidemic confirms its stagnation in Italy.

The numbers of cases and deaths are increasing all over the planet. While Europe and the United States are seriously affected, fears also concern Latin America and especially Africa, whose means are less important. The global toll reports nearly 1.1 million cases for approximately 59,000 deaths.
