LONDON — The number of reported coronavirus cases around the world has hit 40 million, according to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University.
The grim milestone of 40,050,902 confirmed cases on Monday comes as various parts of Europe and the U.S. struggle to deal with an alarming surge in infections.
The dreaded “second wave” began in August in Europe, following the relaxation of national lockdowns implemented in spring.
European governments have scrambled to contain a surge in cases by re-introducing a raft of restrictive measures on public life and the hospitality sector, including the closure or limited opening of pubs, bars and restaurants, restricting social gatherings and even resorting to curfews, now seen in a handful of major French cities, including Paris.

Thanks, China
By the way.. when are the lawsuits starting? It'll be a frenzy. The CCP will be inundated in lawsuits once the foreign sovereign status will be removed, just as in the Saudi Arabia 9/11 case only this will be much worse. We are talking tens of trillions. An entire generation of lawyers will fall over the CCP like a locusts swarm ready to devour the harvest. It'll be epic to watch.
