During the night between Thursday and Friday, the United States first overtook China and became the leading country with the world's largest number of Corona patients. As of this morning (Friday), there are more than 86,000 patients and 1,300 confirmed deaths in the United States as a result of the corona virus infection. Yesterday, the quarter of the dead in the US crossed the threshold of the thousand dead.

In Italy, the situation is less severe than in the United States in terms of the number of people infected, although the population in the country is significantly smaller. Although there are more people in the United States, Italy holds the dubious title of having the highest number of dead with 8,215 victims.

In China, where the Corona virus has erupted, the trend has changed positively. The number of verified infections now stands at just over 81,000 verified patients, 3,292 people have died from the infection and more than 74,000 people have already recovered.
