Europe is the most affected continent. In addition, at least 109,133 people have died worldwide from the Covid-19. In the United States, the curve is still on an upward slope even if there was a very slight "slowdown" when the last daily report was announced. In fact, the USA recorded 1920 new deaths on Saturday evening, which constitutes a slight slowdown compared to the previous day, according to a count by Johns Hopkins University. The epidemic still caused a total of 20,506 deaths, now the heaviest toll for a country in the world.

In China, concern about a second epidemic wave is becoming more and more pressing. With 97 new "imported cases" of Covid-19 contamination this Sunday, April 12, this is a level never reached since early March and the publication of this count for China. However, only two additional local cases have been identified by the Ministry of Health. In an article published in The Lancet, they felt that containment should not be lifted until an effective vaccine is developed and validated.

Faced with this health and economic crisis, the international community is looking for answers. According to the boss of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, the coronavirus pandemic will have "the worst economic consequences since the Great Depression" of 1929.

After the crisis, measures will have to be put in place, and countries are already organizing. The European Union has concluded an agreement including 500 billion euros available immediately and a stimulus fund to come.
The US administration renewed its charges against the World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday, accusing it of having "privileged politics over public health". For Washington, the lack of transparency in China, where the new coronavirus appeared in December, has also cost the world "precious time". President Donald Trump had already threatened the administration earlier this week with funding cuts. For its part WHO alerted this Friday on a "deadly resurgence" of the pandemic if the containment measures were lifted too prematurely.
