In 2020, less than two months have passed since the beginning of the year, and many major events have taken place. Natural and man-made disasters have occurred, which is not a small problem. We'll take stock of it in a few days.
- Australian fire
The relentless fire can be said to be an unprecedented catastrophe in Australia. The area of the fire has reached nearly 18000 hectares, accounting for nearly 8% of the capital's land. In the fire, about 1.2 billion animals were killed, among which kangaroo and koala were the most severely injured.
At the same time, it also brings great losses to the development of Australian economy. - novel coronavirus in China
Novel coronavirus venison pneumoniae, the virus originated in Wuhan, Hubei. The host of research on the virus is probably the wild animal bat, because the greedy people are infected with the game and slowly spread throughout the country.
The destructive power of novel coronavirus is far greater than that of SARS. - Influenza in the United States
According to US media reports, 19 million people have been infected and more than 10000 people have died as a result of influenza in the US this season. In this case, less than 1% of domestic cases were infected outside China. Since February 1, the number of cured patients has exceeded the number of dead patients; as of 24:00 on February 4, 892 cases have been cured and discharged, about 2 times of the total number of dead patients. The novel coronavirus is much more than the new coronavirus in China. It has to be said that the United States is really on a big deal this time. - locust disaster
A hundred billion locusts spread to Africa in June or another 500 times.
Recently, locusts continue to invade East Africa. They also fly across the Red Sea and spread to Iran, Pakistan, India and other countries in southwest Asia. At present, there are 360 billion locusts in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. If the locust disaster cannot be controlled by June, the number of locusts will increase 500 times.
The above four are relatively serious disasters. In addition to these four, some of them are also quite devastating, such as: - US Iraq Conflict
- Blizzard in Canada
- Heavy rainfall in Indonesia
- Volcanic eruption in the Philippines
- Bat invasion in Australia
It can only be said that the year 2020 begins. It's really magical! I hope everything will be better in the next ten months.
