The U.S. has seen over 21,000 people having recovered from the nearly 400,000 cases in the country, as they stand as the nation with the most cases of the virus by a notable margin.
Even though the U.S. has had fairly positive recovery results, President Donald Trump is not impressed with the work of the World Health Organisation and has threatened to cut the USA’s funding to them.
“The World Health — very China-centric, as I say — basically everything was very positive for China,” Trump said. “Don’t close your borders, they strongly recommended. … That would’ve been a disaster.”
Behind China, Spain are the country with the second highest amount of people who have recovered since contracting COVID-19, with 52,165 people having gotten over the disease the country is also the second overall nation for numbers of those infected with the coronavirus.
In the UK 135 people have been reported to have recovered from the coronavirus, that’s out of the 60,733 reported cases throughout the UK.
