Published: Apr 23, 2020 21:58

On 22 April, an additional 74000 cases were confirmed worldwide. As of 19:00 on 23 April, there were more than 2.5 million confirmed cases and more than 180000 deaths worldwide.

A total of 27600 new cases were confirmed in the United States on April 22. As of 19:00 on April 23, the total number of confirmed cases had exceeded 840000 and 47000 cases had died. In Europe, the European Office of the World Health Organization (WHO) said at a press conference on April 23 local time in Denmark that Europe is now loosening controls step by step, and that the control and mitigation of the virus is a good sign. But be cautious. In Asia, India's one-day growth trend is still on the rise, with research institutions saying India's new crown epidemic could peak in mid-May.

Zhang Boli, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of Tianjin University of traditional Chinese Medicine, said on April 23 that the new crown pneumonia epidemic was very different from the SARS epidemic that year, and that the new crown epidemic was still prevalent in hot areas, so it was not expected to come to an abrupt end after the gradual rise in temperatures, as was the case with the SARS epidemic. It is expected that the new crown epidemic will not completely disappear in the next one to two years, and there may be a second wave this autumn and winter. When the universal vaccine is successfully developed and most people produce antibodies, Xinguan pneumonia will become a normal disease that can coexist with humans.
