On 21 April, 88000 new cases were confirmed worldwide. As of 19:00 on 22 April, there were more than 2.5 million confirmed cases and more than 170000 deaths worldwide.

A total of 36000 new cases were confirmed in the United States on the 21st, with a total of more than 800000 confirmed cases and 45000 deaths. Trump announced at a White House press conference that the United States will suspend immigration in the next 60 days. In Europe, the epidemic situation in Italy and Germany has eased. Italy reopened on May 4, and Germany also announced some measures to ease the impact of the epidemic on the economy. In Asia, the outbreak in Turkey is still in a state of high tension. As of 19:00 on April 22, a total of 95000 cases were confirmed, and the number of new cases in a single day remained high.

Under the impact of the epidemic, most countries in the world are facing varying degrees of economic problems, and the imbalance between supply and demand is serious. In the United States, for example, the "pouring milk" phenomenon experienced during the economic crisis of 1933 is repeating itself. At the same time, 61000 chickens have been euthanized on a Minnesota chicken farm because of falling demand for eggs in the United States. As the main pork consumption places closed or even closed, more than 60,000 pork farmers in the United States are also facing a choice, a large number of live pigs may usher in the fate of euthanasia.
