Coronavirus global death toll surpasses 1,000 vanguardnews
A map showing just how the coronavirus could have been spread from the epicenter Wuhan has been compiled by researchers as the outbreak is revealed to have killed more 1,000 people the world over, according to data from the Chinese government released Monday evening.
A map created by Southampton University researchers shows how 60,000 out of a total of five million people who have traveled out of Wuhan since the beginning of the outbreak and before the city was fully locked down have crisscrossed the globe. Now, cases have been confirmed in at least 24 other countries, although only two of the confirmed deaths occurred outside China.
In fact, earlier on Monday, the WHO warned that the more than 40,000 cases already reported by then were likely just ‘the tip of the iceberg,’ as they expect that people with mild or no symptoms have not been diagnosed – yet – leading to an underestimate of total illnesses worldwide. Coronaviruses are a common cause of respiratory illness and, even for severe ones like the 2003 SARS virus and the current outbreak – temporarily dubbed 2019-nCoV – they are not particularly dangerous to most healthy people.
And in the UK, one Brighton man became a ‘super-spreader,’ passing coronavirus to another three associates, meaning his infection accounts for fully half of the eight people confirmed to have the infection there.
