| With the exception of Antarctica (for now), the novel coronavirus pandemic has spread to most parts of the world. Believed to have emerged in November 2019 in the Chinese city of Wuhan, the novel coronavirus disease, also known as the COVID-19, has been spreading at a rapid pace. As of now, over 1,347,000 confirmed novel coronavirus cases have been recorded globally; the US now has the highest number of confirmed cases (367,000) with over 10,000 fatalities. If Charles Darwin were to be alive today, he would have called this scenario “survival of the fittest.” This seems to hold true in terms of the economy as well. |
