President Donald Trump of the United States of America all on a sudden found World Health Organization is at fault for widespread coronavirus crisis in the United States. Fact remains that World Health Organization informed countries that Coronavirus is coming from China on 9 January of 2020. That a flu like outbreak in China a cluster of pneumonia cases had been reported in Wuhan province while intelligence people in USA confirmed the outbreak of disease in February of this year. In February WHO declared Covid-19 has become a global pandemic.
At a press conference on 14 April President Trump blamed World Health Organization (WHO) for increasing crisis in the United States while keeping himself above critic. President in fact threatened to halt America’s funding to WHO. On April 16 Republican members of the Senate echoed President Trump’s threatening of Director General of WHO to resign. But world leaders in fact condemned his decision. President is under criticism for handling the crisis at home while his poll number is dropped. This year is the Presidential election in November. Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States Nancy Pelosi issued blistering attack of the President for his handling the crisis causing unnecessary deaths and economic disaster as well ignoring early warning about the disease while refusing to take responsibility.
Interesting part of the administration is that President Trump invited Governors to take stock of the situation in 50 states of the United States on 17 April but majority Governors did not agree with the President to reopen states. Governor of Washington Jay Inslee holds the opinion that” Science will guide when they will allow us to reopen state. No one will even the most basic understand in science think that we have a royalty situation. The White House issued three phase plans to reopen when state should begin losing restriction against new Covid-19 have declined. Maryland Governor (a Republican) Lary Hodan holds the opinion Trump’s opinion that Governors plenty of tests are not simply true.
As of now 762690 confirmed cases relating to Covid-19 in the United States while 40548 expired as of 17 April while New York City topped the list. As reported, soaring death toll has been fueled by adding 3778 on 15 April being the heart of the Global coronavirus. New York topped the list by adding 10,000.
The virus that caused Coronavirus -19 appears to be spreading from person to persons in China’s Wuhan provinces. Coronavirus is highly contagious indeed. There is highly cautious approach needed to handle the case related to Covid-19 in Bangladesh in particular where medical facilities are reportedly in poor condition. It is requested to employ army medical doctors from army corp. There is shortage of equipment in medial hospitals as well. Effort need to be made to supply medical equipment to hospital as well.
The crisis has begun in China in November last year in biggest city of Wuhan in central of China of Hubei province. The city remained closed. It is now reported uncloaked the city. The richest country in the world the United States of America has become epic center of the Coronavirus outbreak wherein nearly one person dying every 47 second. As of now nearly 16.700 deaths have been recorded. It means death tolls have been exceeded Italy, Spain and France.
Some experts in climate change in fact blamed government of USA of President Donald Trump to neglect climate change. Mr. Noam Chomsky, Linguist and Professor in the department linguist at the University of Arizona in an interview on 8 April to Democracy Now news organization is reported to have said that “if President is related it’s an inscribable disaster. It means that the policies of the past four years which have been destructive to the American people will be continue and probably accelerated. “Similarly, AL Gore, former Vice President of the United States of America blamed climate change for the current crisis. While Nobel prize winner economist Paul Krugman holds the opinion that extreme shut down was necessary because we failed to act quickly to do mass tastes. We will end up having lost probably trillion dollars of GDP because delayed action, said Economist Paul Krugman.
It is a fact that widespread degradation of environment in the form of trillions of tons of melting ice, a rise in the sea level by a couple of inches, apart from droughts in many parts of the world. Heat weave, monster storms, devastating floods and series of tornados and forest fires and endangered species pose environment problems around the world. There is no doubt that present crisis is the result of widespread devastation factors. Till the other days in USA tornados have caused devastation in many parts of USA. Severe storms have caused major damage and power outraged across Tennessee’s causing damage to at least 40 buildings on 3 March this year while tornados have swept over Mississippi and Louisiana on 13 April this month causing heavy damages.
The present epidemic crisis could be compared with Spanish influenza’ in 1918 that had spread from January 1918 to December 1920 causing the death toll anywhere from 17 million to 50 million in many parts of the world. Meanwhile, 13 countries including UK, Germany, Brazil and Canada called for cooperation to protect economy.
