    Corona virus has unleashed its jaws without mercy and is tearing apart even the 'superpower' countries.United states, Spain, Germany are all begging for mercy and almost giving up.
Despite numerous trials by different health sectors to manage the pandemic it doesnot seem to respect any of them, instead its getting "stronger" everyday and robbing us our beloved ones.
     United states has overtaken italy in the number of new infections and number of new deaths from the deadly virus.More than 270, 000 thousand people have been infected in the country with New york city being the epicentre of the virus.The usa president Donald Trump does not seem disturbed since he has not taken the action taken by his counterparts such as italy and india of imposing total lockdown of the country for a designated period of time in attempts of trying to manage the virus.
More than 7000 USA residents have lost their lives to the disease with a number of up to over 1000 deaths registered in a single day.
       The USA leaders especially the governors of the various  states have shown their fear of the massive and unmerciful effects of the disease, the USA state governors have warned that strategic medical stockpiles are at risk of being exhausted any time.New york Governor has desperately pleaded for medical equipments with Newyork registering over 100, 000 deaths.
