The pandemic has not yet reached its peak, a large number of countries last week had a 25 to 30 percent increase in infection Author: HinaPosted: June 25, 2020 7:54 am 8084727 Fabio Teixeira / NurPhoto / AFP Facebook Twitter Messenger E-mail RELATED NEWS Dr. Nela Sršen DR. NELA SRŠEN 'Positive people are not necessarily contagious, that is to say, not to scare people with another wave' TENS OF THOUSANDS IN 24H In Brazil, the number of infected is growing sharply after the measures were relaxed: 'We are sending people to the slaughterhouse' Soon there will be 10 million people in the world suffering from COVID 19, and economic forecasts are not rosy at all: the coronavirus pandemic is not waning, moreover, it hints at weeks and months that will be gloomy for the planet. Michael Ryan , director of the emergency service at the World Health Organization (WHO), noted on Wednesday "a steady and worrying trend, with a large number of countries up 25 percent to 30 percent last week." “The epidemic is spreading rapidly on the American continent, especially in Central and South America,” he said. "Unfortunately, the pandemic has not yet peaked in many countries on the American continent," he added. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyeus told the same virtual conference that the organization "reported less than 10,000 cases of the disease in the first month of the epidemic. Almost 4 million cases were reported last month. We expect to reach a total of 10 million next week." He praised the decision of the Saudi authorities to approve this year's pilgrimage to Mecca for only a thousand people, noting that it was "another example of a difficult decision that all countries must make in order to give priority to health." According to an estimate by France Presse based on official sources, the new coronavirus pandemic has killed at least 478,818 people worldwide since China officially reported the outbreak in December. In 196 countries and territories, more than 9,326,400 cases of COVID 19 have been officially diagnosed, and all experts agree that the number is certainly lower than the actual number. WHO economists on Wednesday revised upward their estimates of the effects of the virus on the world economy. The IMF warned that this crisis "is not like the others" and not only was it much worse than predicted, but the recovery will be slower than expected. Thus, the world economy is expected to fall by 4.9 percent this year: much more than the 3 percent forecast in April, at the height of the pandemic, when the IMF had already warned that it was the worst crisis since the great economic crisis of the 1930s. . In some countries, especially European ones, the gross domestic product crashed: in France - 12.5 percent, in Spain and Italy - 12.8 percent. Although world GDP is expected to grow by 5.4 percent in 2021, the IMF acknowledges that this forecast is the most uncertain so far. In some European countries, which after favorable health statistics thought they had escaped, optimism is disappearing and the specter of a second wave is circulating among officials and the public. In Slovenia, it is again mandatory to wear masks in public places and in public transport. In Croatia, quarantine has been reintroduced, which has been lifted, for travelers coming from Balkan countries, where the number of infected people is rising again. Celebrations and public rallies “threaten months of joint efforts” invested in fighting the coronavirus, Belgian Prime Minister Sophie Wilmes warned . The United States, which has a population of nearly 330 million, has the worst indicators in absolute terms: more than 121,000 dead and 2.3 million sick. "The next two weeks will be crucial" in response to "worrying" disease progression, warned Anthony Fauci , the White House chief epidemiologist, saying he was concerned that more than 32,000 cases of the infection had been diagnosed in 24 hours on Tuesday.
