It is still too early to say that the situation in Corona 19 in Europe is truly a phase. Nearly 1,000 patients die a day in the UK alone. The World Health Organization, WHO yesterday (8th), was told not to make the virus a political issue against President Trump's criticism.

British health officials have reported an increase of 938 deaths per day. It is the largest since the outbreak of Corona19.

As a result, the number of fatalities in the UK has exceeded 7,000, and the number of confirmed cases has reached 61,000.

British Prime Minister Johnson, who is receiving intensive care in an intensive care unit, remains stable and is showing signs of treatment.

Italy, which was showing signs of a slowdown in diffusion, also turned to an increase in four days.

Nevertheless, Italy is considering resuming production activities from the middle of this month and easing movement restrictions early next month.

People's health is a top priority, but that doesn't mean they can't turn the country's engines off for too long.

The World Health Organization, the WHO, stressed that President Trump said yesterday that the WHO was too China-centered and could withhold US funding for WHO, not to make the virus a political issue.

According to Reuters, the WHO contribution in the United States last year was the highest at 490 billion won, and China was at 53.7 billion won.
