{UAH} CAN ANYONE STOP REGGAE?

A quick comparison between just last month and today.

Attachment: In the green chart are the numbers just a month ago on 29th Jan 2020. And the purple one is the latest update today, this very evening, 27th Feb 2020.

What we can clearly see is an alarmingly high death rate, an alarmingly high infection rate, and therefore a very fast spread of the disease.

Exactly a month ago there were only 132 deaths (all in China). Now barely thirty days later we have 6000 dead (in 7 countries across Asia and Europe).

Also last month there were only 2800 known infections (in 14 countries). Now the number has reached a staggering 80,000 and in 48 countries (all continents except Australia).

This is the spread of the Corona virus in just one month. It means that there are 28 times more infections than they were just a month ago. More worryingly there are a staggering 45 times more dead than just a month ago.

By any standards, that is a lightning fast epidemic spreading globally. Imagine what the world numbers will be in the next 30 days. This has to be monitored very closely by all public health experts, and clearly more efforts need to be made by everyone to contain the disease. Better hygiene (especially washing hands regularly) and quarantine, are the primary defenses against this virus. It's main transmission is from coughing (like Tuberculosis) thus face masks. Everyone has to prepare for this, even just psychologically for those who feel it is still a distant epidemic. Otherwise will it be true that nobody can stop reggae?
