I think I know. I mean, I feel certain about it. But certainly, China should help. Right now, their economy and our economy are the two economies that are coming back the fastest,” he argued.Coronavirus was first reported in Wuhan in December 2019 by Chinese well being officers.Trump has been alleging that the coronavirus could have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in central China’s Wuhan metropolis.The complete variety of coronavirus circumstances globally are 177,136,569 and three,835,123 folks have died from it, in response to the Johns Hopkins University tracker on Thursday.In April, India was battling a second wave of the pandemic and hospitals had been reeling below a scarcity of medical oxygen and beds.
