Why is the coronavirus increasing in these countries and how is it decreasing in many countries

Posted on 30th Jun 2020 by rohit kumar

The World Health Organization has warned of a new and frightening phase of this global pandemic when cases of coronavirus infection exceeded one crore worldwide.

 

When the corona infection is seen to be controlled to a large extent in many countries of Western Europe and Asia, this epidemic is seen to spread quite rapidly in some parts of the world.

 

It took three months for the virus to reach the first million of the ten million people infected. But it took Corona just eight days to catch the last one million people (90 million to one crore).

 

This data is based only on those who were tested the COVID-19, taking into account some senior Latin American health officials who believe that 'this is only a small fraction of the actual number of infected people.'

 

America - which is most affected by Coronavirus infection and Covid-19 has also suffered the most deaths. There has been a sharp rise in cases once again.

 

In the last few days, there has been a spurt in the cases of corona infection in America. He has also made a new record which is about to come up with more than 40 thousand new cases in a day.

 

After New York in the United States, Arizona, Texas, and Florida are considered the epicenter of the epidemic.

 

Experts think that this is not the second wave of epidemic in America, but that the epidemic is now spreading rapidly in those states where the lockdown has been lifted, after very modest evaluation, ahead of time.

 

Brazil, which is the second most affected country in the world due to Corona infection and also the second country to register more than one million cases of Covid-19 after the USA, there is a very high rate of infection so far.

 

Brazil's biggest cities - Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro - are severely affected by the epidemic, while in other Brazilian states, Corona testing is being reduced, with experts saying that there may be more cases.

 

Something similar is also seen in India. Recently, a record increase was observed in cases of corona infection in India in a day when more than 19,900 cases were reported in a single day.

 

According to the Union Health Ministry, so far more than five lakh 48 thousand cases have been registered in India in which more than 2 lakh 10 thousand patients are still infected i.e. they have symptoms of the disease or their reports have not yet been negative.

 

According to the Government of India, the number of people recovering from this epidemic is higher than the infected patients at present. According to the government, over three lakh 21 thousand patients have recovered completely.

 

But testing is being reduced in India too, especially in those states where the density of population is very high. In this case, the actual number of infected people will inevitably be higher than the government data.

 

But why is this happening? For the underprivileged communities, forced to live in crowded areas in developing countries, this epidemic has been considered most dangerous. According to the World Health Organization Special Representative David Nobarrow for Covid-19, Coronavirus infection has become a 'disease of the poor'.

 

When a whole family lives in a one-room house, it is impossible to follow the instructions like social distancing. In areas where there is no systematic supply of water, it is not possible to wash hands again and again. And when people have to go daily to eat, then it is no longer possible to stand and talk on the roadside, markets and streets.

 

But the rate of infection in such areas is very high. During testing in similar areas of Mexico, it was found out that every other person living there is infected with corona. This is much higher than other cities such as New York and Northern Italy, which have been hotspots of Corona infection.

 

In countries where the budget is small, there is also a shortage of essential safety facilities such as PPE kits for health care workers and medical staff.

 

In Ecuador, after a while, the situation came that the bodies had to be left in the garbage dump because the administration could not manage so many bodies. Also, that chemical ended up in the largest laboratory there, which is needed in the Covid-19 test.

 

And where the economic situation is already critical, strict lockdown to prevent infection is much more challenging than developed countries.

 

Doctor David Nobarrow says, "One way to stop the infection from spreading is to give international aid to countries where the infection is high. We do not want to give a disappointing message, but we are concerned that those who need medical supplies and financial support should reach them. ”

 

The reasons that have been talked about so far are not the same reasons behind the increase in the rate of coronavirus infection.

 

Some big politicians have chosen that they will not listen to their health experts.

 

Taking a major decision, the President of Tanzania announced that 'his country has defeated the epidemic.' From the early week of May, he stopped releasing data related to Covid-19. But there are indications that Covid-19 is still a threat to its citizens.

In the United States, President Donald Trump first considered the epidemic to be minor, then blamed China and then the World Health Organization for the outbreak, and was in favor of reopening the US economy.

 

Trump openly praised Republican Party leader and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who first decided to remove the lockdown from his state. But that decision of the Governor of Texas is now being linked to the cases of fast-growing infection there.

 

The instruction given by the US government in April to wear masks in public places has also been made a symbol of political differences.

 

Governor Greg Abbott recently told his state's Meyers that 'they can't make people wear masks mandatory.' While California governors and Democrat leaders have said that "science says covering masks and wearing masks increases infection Prevents from. "

 

Meanwhile, President Trump has also refused to wear masks at an event.

 

Brazilian President Zaire Bolsenaro has also been seen getting involved in this type of debate.

 

They have dismissed the Covid-19 epidemic as 'minor cold-fever'. They continued to drag the officials who tried to stop any economic activity to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic.

 

They were not wearing masks at any rally or meeting continuously, after which a Brazilian court had to ask them to wear masks.

 

Because of this attitude of politicians, the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Edenholm Gebreyasis, has said that "the biggest challenge for us is not the coronavirus, but global leadership and global coordination."

 

Where is the infection under control?

In addition to some islands in the Pacific Ocean, Corona in New Zealand is under contamination control and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's government has been praised for this.

 

Due to the aggressive manner in which the New Zealand government faced the epidemic, no new cases have been reported there since the last 24 days.

 

Similarly, South Korea has also succeeded in greatly reducing the infection rate with the help of technology and contact tracing. There, too, no new cases have come to light since the last three days.

 

A few weeks ago several people who went to a nightclub in Seoul were found to be corona infected. After this, the Mayor of Seoul issued a warning and said that "If more than thirty cases are reported daily for three days, then the rules of social distancing will be implemented again."

 

The most glorious in this case is Vietnam, which claims that not a single death occurred from Covid-19. The decision to lockdown immediately upon receipt of the epidemic and strict vigil on the country's borders helped Vietnam control the infection rate.

 

But what next? This is currently a big question as to what is the correct state of transition in most African countries.

 

One view says that in most African countries resources are scarce due to which more testing is not possible there and that is why it is difficult to assess the epidemic situation right there.

 

The second view is that African countries have a relatively young population, so the number of people affected by the epidemic is small.

 

The third view is that the impact of the epidemic on communities with limited contact with the outside world will be the last or never.

 

But the challenge before the countries that have successfully controlled the coronavirus epidemic is that they should be very careful while returning to normal life.
