When we wrote our first news, concerning USA cases infected with the new Coronavirus COVID_19, in our Arabic site version of Elissar News , the total of cases detected was 873 cases, and the death toll was 29, and within 5 minutes, the numbers jumped in an unprecedented way to 950 cases and 30 deaths.

The numbers have shown a similar trend in other countries especially South Korea, Italy, Iran, France, Spain.  This raises a huge question about other countries such as Egypt, where residents from Maryland, Florida and California and 12 cases in Houston - Texas, have been linked to  Egypt or to precisely to the cruise on the MS A’Sara, which took passengers along the Nile River from Aswan in Egypt, and the detection of new cases within the members of the crew infected with Coronavirus, as well as the recent first death in Lebanon while the patient has a previous history of travelling to Egypt , as well as many cases around the world, linked to Egypt too.

Egypt has currently 59 cases and one death of a german tourist.

And as we prepared to wrap up and publish this article, the final number is now 974 cases and death toll remains 30, the numbers seem to add up by the minute, the reason is probably as confirmed by reliable sources that the capacity of each state to test for Coronavirus is between 80 and 130 tests per day, so we may ask the following intuitive questions, has the virus become uncontrollable in USA, and can we start thinking about Coronavirus as the new plague worldwide?

For more information, concerning total number of cases in USA and other countries in the world, check the following list where all the data have been collected from the interactive map created by the Lebanese cyber expert Ghassan Baltahji and he named it Baltahji’s tracker, and have been active following the progress of Coronavirus documenting data from all over the world.
