Asia, el caldo de cultivo para el virus

Esta noticia parece bastante dramática ya que por culpa de la enorme cantidad de población que reside en Asia muchas personas tengan que morir por la insuficiencia de las autoridades sanitarias que no son capaces de vacunar a toda la población.

Debido a esto muchas mas personas podrían morir ya no solo en Asia sino en el resto de continentes por tanto creo que lo mejor sería pedir ayuda internacional y frenar la pandemia cuanto antes para evitar que se extienda.
