How coronavirus changed the world in three months

Video        The Guardian        8 April 2020

 

In just three months,

the coronavirus has turned the world upside down.

 

But how did it play out so quickly?

 

We take a look back to where it all began

– from its origins in south east Asia,

to its acceleration across Europe and the US.

 

As the infection rate increased

and countries went into lockdown,

people began to find imaginative and inspiring ways

of coping with our new reality

U.S. Coronavirus Deaths Top 140,000

As World Sets Daily Record In New Cases        USA

 

Updated at 4:30 a.m. ET Sunday

Over a 24-hour period,

the world saw

nearly 260,000 new coronavirus cases

— a new record.

 

Deaths were also on the rise,

with 7,360 new fatalities reported Saturday

in the highest one-day increase since May.

 

The World Health Organization

announced the numbers Saturday.

 

The United States, Brazil,

India and South Africa

were responsible for more than

165,000 of the cases.

 

The WHO said it included

more than 11,000 new cases

from Kyrgyzstan on Saturday

because of a change in reporting criteria.

 

Globally,

nearly 600,000 people

have been killed by the virus,

according to data

from the Johns Hopkins

Coronavirus Resource Center.

 

Deaths in the U.S. surpassed 140,000,

accounting for almost a quarter

of the world's COVID-19 fatalities.

April 6

 

Many communities

that watched the pandemic unfold in far-away places

are now experiencing the crisis first hand.

 

More than two-thirds of rural counties

have confirmed at least one case.

 

 

 

 

 

March 26

 

In Idaho,

Blaine County

had the highest per capita infection rate

in the nation, rural or urban.

 

More than 100 attendees

at a ski event earlier in the month had tested positive,

nd dozens of healthcare workers had fallen ill.

 

 

 

 

 

March 19

 

Hundreds of rural counties

were seeing their first reported cases.

 

The town of Cynthiana

in rural Harrison County

appeared to be the epicenter of the crisis

in Kentucky.

 

 

 

 

 

March 12

 

In mid-March,

a cluster of cases emerged

in Colorado ski country.

 

Vacation destinations

were among the earliest in the rural U.S.

to record clusters of cases,

but that would soon change.

 

 

 

 

 

March 2

 

Almost two weeks later and 3,000 miles away,

officials in Grafton County, N.H.,

announced a positive test for a healthcare worker

who had recently traveled to Italy.

 

At that point, there were just 104 cases nationwide

and no other rural counties had reported cases.

 

 

 

 

 

Feb. 20

 

(...)

Humboldt County in Northern California

was the first rural county to report a case, on Feb. 20,

a month after the virus first reached the U.S.

USA > Timeline > February

 

By the last week of February,

it was clear

to the administration’s public health team

that schools and businesses in hot spots

would have to close.

 

But in the turbulence

of the Trump White House,

it took three more weeks

to persuade the president

that failure to act quickly

to control the spread of the virus

would have dire consequences.

 

When Dr. Robert Kadlec,

the top disaster response official

at the Health and Human Services Department,

convened the White House coronavirus task force

on Feb. 21,

his agenda was urgent.

 

There were deep cracks

in the administration’s

strategy for keeping the virus

out of the United States.

 

They were going

to have to lock down the country

to prevent it from spreading.

The question was: When?

 

There had already been an alarming spike

in new cases around the world

and the virus was spreading

across the Middle East.

 

It was becoming apparent

that the administration

had botched the rollout of testing

to track the virus at home,

and a smaller-scale surveillance program

intended to piggyback

on a federal flu tracking system

had also been stillborn.

 

In Washington,

the president was not worried,

predicting that by April,

“when it gets a little warmer,

it miraculously goes away.”

 

His White House had yet

to ask Congress for additional funding

to prepare for the potential cost

of wide-scale infection across the country,

and health care providers

were growing increasingly nervous

about the availability of masks,

ventilators and other equipment.

Italy > Timeline

 

 

DAY 42

 

The lockdow

 was scheduled to lift on April 3,

but officials extended it

because the country was still reporting

thousands of new infections daily.

 

 

 

 

 

DAYS 22-30

 

Bars, restaurants

and most shops nationwide

were finally ordered to close.

 

Factories halted nonessential production.

 

All outdoor activities were banned.

 

Parks were closed.

 

 

 

 

 

DAY 20

 

Nearly three weeks

after the first case in Lodi was reported,

the prime minister banned

all nonessential movement

across the entire country on March 10.

 

But the rules of the lockdown were unclear,

and enforcement was spotty.

 

 

 

 

 

DAY 18

 

A surge of new cases

persuaded the government

to lock down much of the north on March 8,

restricting the movement

of roughly 16 million people.

 

But the order leaked early,

and many people fled the area

before it took effect.

 

 

 

 

 

DAY 12

 

Milan’s landmark cathedral

opened back up to tourists.

 

Some of the city’s museums reopened, too.

 

Cases continued to climb,

topping 2,000 across the country.

 

 

 

 

 

DAY 6

 

But others,

reluctant to fully freeze

the region known

as Italy’s economic engine,

played down the threat of the virus.

 

The mayor of Milan unveiled a campaign,

“Milan Doesn’t Stop,”

allowing bars to remain open

in the evenings.

 

 

 

 

 

DAY 4

 

As the virus spread,

the Italian government created two “red zones”

around 10 towns in Lodi

and around the town of Vo’ in Padua province,

effectively quarantining 50,000 people.

 

Officials closed schools, museums and theaters

and canceled religious and sporting events,

as more cases were reported across northern Italy.

DAY 1- February 20, 2020

 

Italy identified

its first case of local coronavirus transmission

in a 38-year-old man on Feb. 20.

 

A cluster of cases in Lodi,

a province in the country’s north,

all appeared to be connected to him.

China > Timeline

 

Many of the first known cases clustered

around a seafood market in Wuhan, China,

a city of 11 million and a transportation hub.

 

 

 

 

Four cases grew to dozens

by the end of December.

 

 

 

 

Doctors knew only

that the sick people had viral pneumonia

that did not respond to the usual treatments.

 

 

 

 

The true size of the outbreak

was much larger even then

— an invisible network

of nearly 1,000 cases,

or perhaps several times more.

(Estimates from Trevor Bedford,

University of Washington,

and Lauren Gardner,

Johns Hopkins University)

 

 

 

 

With each patient

infecting two or three others on average,

even a perfect response

may not have contained the spread.

 

But Chinese officials did not alert

the public to the risks in December.

 

It wasn’t until Dec. 31

that they alerted the World Health Organization

and released a statement — and a reassurance.

 

“The disease is preventable and controllable,”

the government said.

 

 

 

 

The timing of the outbreak

could not have been worse.

 

Hundreds of millions of people

were about to travel back

to their hometowns

for the Lunar New Year.

 

Here’s how people moved around on Jan. 1,

according to a Times analysis of data

published by Baidu and major telecoms,

which tracked the movements

of million of cell phones.

 

 

 

 

At least 175,000 people left Wuhan

just on that day, we found.

 

 

 

 

The departures from Wuhan

accelerated over the next three weeks.

 

About 7 million people left in January,

before travel was restricted.

 

 

 

 

Thousands of travelers were infected.

 

 

 

 

By the time Chinese officials acknowledged

the risk of human-to-human transmission on Jan. 21,

local outbreaks were already seeded

in Beijing, Shanghai and other major cities.

 

 

 

 

Two days later,

the authorities locked down Wuhan,

and many cities followed in the next few weeks.

 

Travel across China nearly stopped.

 

 

 

 

But local outbreaks

were already growing quickly.

 

 

 

 

As the outbreak

moved across China in early January,

international travel continued as normal.

 

 

 

 

Thousands of people

flew out of Wuhan to cities around the world.

 

 

 

 

Over 900 people went to New York

every month on average,

based on recent trends …

 

 

 

 

… over 2,200 to Sydney …

 

 

 

 

… and over 15,000 people went to Bangkok,

the most popular destination.

 

 

 

 

That’s where the first known overseas case

appeared in mid-January,

a 61-year-old woman

who traveled from Wuhan to Bangkok

despite having a fever,

headache and a sore throat.

 

 

 

 

Other early cases turned up

in Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul and Hong Kong.

 

The U.S. confirmed its first case near Seattle.

 

 

 

 

About 85 percent of infected travelers

went undetected, researchers believe.

 

But they were still contagious.

 

 

 

 

It was only at the end of January

that Wuhan was placed under a lockdown

and airlines started canceling flights.

 

By Jan. 31,

when the United States announced

it would shut down entry

from China for non-Americans,

travel out of Wuhan had basically stopped.

 

 

 

 

It was too late.

 

Outbreaks were already growing

in over 30 cities across 26 countries,

most seeded by travelers from Wuhan.

 

 

 

 

The virus started spreading locally,

moving easily in confined spaces

like churches and restaurants,

and infecting people who had not traveled to China

— the start of a pandemic.

 

 

 

 

By March 1,

thousands of cases were reported

in Italy, Iran and South Korea.

 

China was no longer

the main driver of the outbreak.

 

 

 

 

In fact,

as China started systematically testing,

tracing and isolating patients,

new cases there declined dramatically,

showing that it was possible to slow the virus.

 

Similar measures slowed the spread

in Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea.

 

 

 

 

In the United States,

where testing has lagged,

President Trump suspended

most travel from Europe.

 

“The virus will not have a chance against us,”

he said.

 

 

 

 

But by then,

the virus had a secure foothold.

 

It continued to spread locally

throughout parts of Seattle,

New York City and across the country,

once again outpacing efforts to stop it.
