As Corona 19 spreads rapidly again, mainly in Europe and the United States, the number of infected people worldwide has exceeded 40 million.

Experts worry that the world will face a health crisis with the Corona 19 and flu pandemic when winter comes.

Corona 19 tests are taking place on a street in India, a country with a population of almost 1.4 billion people.

India records more than 60,000 new confirmed cases of corona19 every day, with 7.5 million confirmed cases accumulated, the second largest in the world after the United States.

Although the spread continues at 60,000 people, the public warning about Corona 19 has now been resolved.

European countries like France and Italy also indicate the maximum number of new confirmed cases each day, and France and others have implemented secondary lockdown measures such as a night curfew.

In the United States, the number of new confirmed cases per day exceeded 69,000, peaking at 77,000 in mid-July.

The US government emphasizes strengthening the quarantine, but it does not seem clear if the appropriate measures will be taken, as all attention is given to next month’s presidential elections.

As Corona 19 spreads again around the world, each day more than 400,000 new Corona 19 cases were added worldwide, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 40 million.

Among these, experts worry that if they go as they are, they will experience the so-called ‘demic twin’, in which Corona 19 and the seasonal flu are spreading together this winter.
