Bangladesh has had six hundred an four cases and only three deaths, India has had nine thousand eight hundred an seventy one cases with three hundred an two deaths, and Indonesia has had one thousand an ninety seven cases with only ten deaths. The WHO is trying to make sure that every country that is effected by this disease has enough access to medical supplies to try to contain it as much as possible. Even though everyone is trying to do everything they can it just seems like this disease is only getting worse and it’s doing more damage than ever to the countries such as theses who can not get the medical supplies that they need to even attempt to contain this dreadful thing.
