TOP DISASTERS OF 2020

BUSHFIRE IN THE AUSTRALIAN FOREST

By mid January of 2020, the fires in this season have burned an estimated 18.6 million hectares. That alone has destroyed over 5,900 buildings and killed at least 34 people including 4 firefighters. In the wild, about one billion animals have been killed while some endangered species may be driven to extinction. There are more than 2,000 firefighters working on the ground in New South Wales alone while more support is on the way. The good thing is recent cooler conditions and rain have brought some respite, but more than 60 fires are still burning. CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
