WHO warns of ‘accelerating’ pandemic

More than 300,000 cases now recorded and infections reported from nearly every country.
“The future of this pandemic to a greater extent will be determined by what happens with very large, densely populated countries,” Ryan said.
“So it’s really, really important that India continues to take aggressive action at the public health level and at the level of society to contain, control and suppress this disease and to save lives.”
Dr. Mike Ryan, the WHO’s top emergencies expert, said it had advised Olympic and Japanese officials about public health risks and expected a decision “very soon”.
While it took 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases of the disease caused by the coronavirus
It took only 11 days for the second 100,000 cases, and just four days for the third 100,000 cases, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said.
“We’re not helpless bystanders. We can change the trajectory of this pandemic,” Tedros told an online briefing for more than 300 journalists.
He called for global political commitment to change the trajectory of the pandemic, urging countries to take both defensive and attacking measures.

First 100000- 67 days
2nd 100000 – 11 days
3rd. 100000 – 4 days
It’s up to all of us to change this trajectory in next couple of weeks. Please stay indoor, spend time with family, play with kids, read some good books, watch movies and do work from home. This time is precious. Enjoy and stay healthy stay fit ??
