Two hundred and thirty thousand people are affected by coronavirus pandemic in the United Kingdom while 33.186 people have died from coronavirus in the UK.  Higher numbers are from Black Asian and minority ethnic communities.

This is staggering from 569 deaths in the UK  to 33.000 in less than two months? That is frightful and I hope this pandemic ends so soon.

In the whole world, 4.29 million people have been affected by coronavirus pandemic, 293 thousand people have died sadly, and 1.4 million people have recovered thankfully.

The health secretary, Matt Hancock has said that people from ethnic minorities are dying from covid19 disproportionately.

According to the BBC analysis, about 103 NHS workers have died from coronavirus in April, which 65 out of them were from Black Asian and minority ethnic  (BAME).

Not all those who died had underlying health conditions like diabetes, respiratory disease, hypertension, or other health conditions. In fact, some of them were very healthy. May their souls rest in peace.

As per vaccination, although the University of Oxford has announced an agreement with the UK-based reputable AstraZeneca biopharmaceutical company for the development of the coronavirus (covid19) vaccine.
There is a candidate who put herself forward last month for the test. The lady is being monitored by the university.

Once the vaccine proves effective this will be a positive way forward for the covid19 vaccine around the world.
