Scientists had been warning him … Someday the coronavirus will invade the United States. Unfortunately that day has arrived and today, Thursday, March 26, 2020, the USA is the country with the most infected in the world.

As reported by the New York Times, there are already more than eighty thousand people who have continued to be infected with Covid-19 and more than a thousand deaths. Those are more cases than in China, Italy or Spain, the countries hitherto hit hardest by this virulent outbreak.

It should not be forgotten that the United States is the third most populous country in the world with more than 300 million inhabitants. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Colombia in New York, asks: "If there are already these confirmed cases, how many more will there be that we don't know yet?"

He also complained to the aforementioned media that other security measures had not been implemented before, when the first cases were identified, and the outrageous absence of coronavirus tests.

Although China also reacted late to the first signs of this terrible outbreak, when they did, they took action immediately and with a strong hand. Very quickly, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan began preparing for the worst.

The virus spread incredibly to ordinary people, quite the contrary for many scientists, who warned of the grave danger that was creeping across the world but to which governments did not pay enough attention.

The virulence of the Covid-19 caught Europe by surprise and got out of hand, with the countries of the south being hitherto the most affected with thousands of infected and dead, as well as Iran in the Middle East.

Mexico is another of the countries that to this day tries to persuade its citizens that this is not as serious as it seems. The counterproductive advice given by almost all governments creates tremendous confusion among the population in the face of a pandemic already surrounded by disbelief and difficult to understand in its magnitude until, unfortunately, it is too late.

Right now 160 million people are being held in their homes from New York to California. Bars, restaurants, schools and all those shops that are not considered as establishments for the sale of basic necessities are closed. Something unthinkable in this era and with unusual consequences for citizens, not to mention the economy.

In California, the sale of arms has exploded in the face of the panic that is beginning to arouse in the face of the coronavirus, the isolation order and the shortage of provisions in supermarkets. After an attempt by the Los Angeles Sheriff to close his stores in the face of this alarm, he was forced to open them immediately. It seems that firearm shops are much-needed establishments like pharmacies, gas stations and supermarkets, something that many people disagree with.

In a new order and now supported by Governor Gavin Newsom, Sheriff Villanueva has again closed firearm shops throughout Los Angeles County today and will only be purchased by police officers or law enforcement officials.

Experts assure that this coronavirus nightmare will last, until now, until the summer and then, will we have to start worrying, like China, about the second round?
