Corona: America surpasses 15,000 deaths and hopes of hope in Germany and reports reveal how the epidemic reached New York

The number of deaths due to coronavirus infection exceeded the 90,000 in the world, and many regions witnessed large increases in the number of infections, amid positive signs in New York and Germany, while American researchers revealed for the first time the source of the first recorded cases in New York City, the epicenter of America's largest epidemic.

Corona, USA .. numbers, indicators and studies
A Johns Hopkins University census showed that the total death toll from the newborn Coronavirus in the United States exceeded 15,000 on Thursday.

The census showed that the number of deaths rose to 15,774 cases, while the injuries amounted to 432,596 cases, amid efforts the country is making to combat the outbreak.

Medical officials and government officials in the United States said Thursday that Americans should continue to apply the rules of social separation with the start of signs that the spread of the emerging Corona virus is slowing.

Although New York recorded a new rise in the number of deaths, the number of those requiring hospital admissions decreased.

In a sign that the disease’s curve has begun to stabilize in New York, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States, City Governor Andrew Como said Thursday that there has been a sharp decline in the number of hospitalizations due to infection with the emerging coronavirus, reaching 200 in the past 24 hours only. .

Como added in a daily press statement that the number of deaths increased to 799 on the eighth of April, compared to the death of 779 a day earlier, the highest number for the third day in a row.

Many officials hailed the success of the containment effort as reflected in the death expectations, which have been reduced to 60,000 from more than 100,000. But US chief infectious disease expert Anthony Fauchi said it is imperative that people continue to stay at home.

On the other hand, the New York Times reported that the Coruna virus began to circulate in the New York area by mid-February, that is, weeks before confirming the first case.

The newspaper quoted, based on new research, that travelers brought the virus mainly from Europe and not from Asia.

It is clear that the majority of the injuries came from Europe, said Harem van Bäckel, a geneticist at the Icahn Medical College, who co-wrote the study.

Research by another team at New York University reached similar conclusions based on a genome analysis of the virus from New Yorkers starting in mid-March.

The research stated that it would have been possible to detect the spread of the virus if strong testing programs were established at the time.

Europe .. Required to act and a spark of hope in Germany

And diplomatic sources at the United Nations revealed the differences between the major powers in the Security Council, and one of the reasons for the dispute lies in the United States insistence to include any statement or decision issued by the Council a paragraph indicating that the origin of the epidemic is Chinese, which Beijing strongly rejects.
