The coronavirus spread in China can harm two-thirds of the world’s population. The World Health Organization advisor has warned those monitoring the transmission of the new coronavirus that two-thirds of the world’s population may be infected with the coronavirus. By Thursday, the number of patients infected with a corona in Wuhan had reached 65 thousand 213, while the death toll has reached 1486.

According to Bloomberg and Sputnik’s report, the way corona patients are now being found in the rest of the world, it seems that it will engulf two-thirds of the world’s population. Till now its centers were only in Wuhan and Hubei, but now people from other countries of the world are also being affected by this virus. In some countries, the victims of this virus have also died. Due to which the situation is getting serious there too.

Ira Longini, a top infectious disease scientist at the University of Florida and co-director of the Center for Statistics and Quantitative Infectious Disease, suggested that China’s spread is being slowed through China’s strict prevention measures. The researcher said that the Wuhan Coronavirus has reached all over China and beyond, making the situation serious.

Ira Longini’s estimate shows that if one person affects the virus, it usually affects 2-3 others. From this, it is being estimated that billions of people are likely to be infected with this virus. The scientist claimed that even though 50 percent success can be achieved in stopping the virus, it has not yet been fully successful in preventing its infection.

He says the virus can infect one-third of the world’s population. Gabriel Leung, a health professor at the University of Hong Kong, has also estimated that if it is not controlled, about two-thirds of the world’s population will be affected. This virus will definitely catch such a population.
