New wave of coronavirus is coming again after making a little pause. Someone terms it as the second wave. Again, according to some, it is the third wave. Originating in Wuhan, China in December 2019, Corona has grabbed the entire year 2020 into a global pandemic.
As of mid-November, more than 13 lakh people had died in Corona worldwide and about 5.5 crore had been infected. Instead of stopping such human catastrophe in 9/10 months pandemic, it is blowing up again. Amid the wave of hope and despair over the vaccine, the growing corona is being alerted around the world.
Many European countries are raising new sanctions in the face of adversity. The situation in the top-hit United States is expected to worsen. Asian leaders are also active in tackling corona.
At the urging of China to deal with a possible second wave of coronavirus, the five Asian nations have met and pledged to strengthen information sharing and coordination in tackling the pandemic. The countries participating in the high-level virtual meeting are China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka. At the meeting, Bangladesh wanted to know the work plan of the four countries to successfully deal with the second wave of Corona. It also called for strengthening regional cooperation. Foreign Secretary Masud bin Momen represented Bangladesh at the meeting.
Meanwhile, Corona's hand is expanding in the United States, which is reeling from the electoral heat and the ensuing crisis. Before the new president (elected) Joe Biden took office (January 20, 2021) in the United States, the world's most affected country in Corona, 80,000 to 1.5 lakh people could die in Corona. At least 60 lakh people may be newly infected at this time.
Experts fear that the number of coronaviruses in the United States could rise by 70 percent and the death toll by 29 percent in the coming days. As a result, President-elect Joe Biden has made controlling the corona virus epidemic a top priority since taking office. At the same time, he said that wearing a mask should be made compulsory. At the same time, the new US leader has vowed to provide more financial incentives for businesses and workers to survive.
Experts have called for a change in the Trump administration's corona strategy and for state governments to take tougher action. At the same time, it has been asked to take more integrated measures. Experts also fear that the Corona Challenge will add many more complex problems in the coming winter season.
According to Professor Greg Consulves, an epidemiologist at Yale University in the United States, the corona virus pandemic took a dramatic turn last spring, and will become more severe in the coming winter. There are worse times ahead than the way Americans suffer every day.
Infectious disease experts in the United States say the central government should do more. It was here that the first corona virus infected large coastal cities and rural areas. At least 10 lakh people have been infected with the virus in the United States so far. But it is feared that the number of new attacks in the United States could rise from 80 lakh million to 1 crore 30 lakh before the new president takes office.
At the current rate in the United States, the second or third wave of corona kills between 70,000 and 1.5 lakh people a day before the new president takes office. According to their estimates, the death toll could reach at least 360,000 by January 20, which is an extreme omen for the country. The media is reporting an increase in the number of victims and deaths due to the new impact of Corona in different countries of the world.
Meanwhile, a new wave of corona has left a void in U.S. public life. People are becoming more cautious and avoiding social crowds. A report in the Associated Press (AP) on Corona's fears in US public life depicts depopulation in the image of a closed business.
