"Sunset last night...isolated in the Grenadines avoiding the virus. I'm hoping everybody is staying safe."
If we take drastic measures to reduce the incidence of Covid-19, it follows that the deaths will also go down. We risk being convinced that we have averted something that was never really going to be as severe as we feared.Around the world, global cases passed 700k. The European death toll passed 25k (though actual deaths caused by Covid-19 are probably a fraction of that). Spain's rate of fatalities fell (though health chief Fernando Simon tested positive, like several other health ministers worldwide). Germany recorded another 4,751 cases (around 800 more than the day before). The UK spread of the virus shows signs of slowing. (PM Johnson's top adviser Dominic Cummings also came down with symptoms and is self-isolating. Prince Charles is out of isolation, health improved.) US cases have almost reached 150k, with 2,500+ deaths. NYC first responders have had a record number of emergency calls. Athony Almojera, a Fire Department lieutenant and supervisor, told RT:
"In the last few days we've done over 44,000 calls. Just to give you some perspective, we normally do only about 4,000 calls a day," he explained. "9/11, which was the busiest day for the EMS, we've done 6,300 calls roughly. For the last couple of days we've done over 7,000."US stocks rose, but global markets are sinking. Netanyahu decided to self-isolate after confirmation that one of his aides tested positive (and after initial reports that Netanyahu wouldn't self-isolate). Iran's FM Zarif says US sanctions on life-saving drugs are leading Iran into a 'humanitarian catastrophe'. In India, Modi denied that the lockdown there would be extended past April 14.
