In Pictures: The Novel Coronavirus Outbreak by sunnyanet(op): 2:23pm On Apr 12, 2020
The novel coronavirus is spreading across the world.

The illness was first reported in late December in Wuhan, a city of 11 million people in central China's Hubei province. It has now found a foothold on every continent except for Antarctica, and many countries have declared a national emergency.

The World Health Organization declared it to be a pandemic, the first since the H1N1 flu in 2009.

Coronavirus symptoms can look like a common cold or flu. But for those with a weaker immune system, the virus could cause more serious illnesses like pneumonia or bronchitis.

You've lived in India and you've never seen Indians hanging out on the trains? Issorit, then tell us the reason behind the overcrowded building, even when social distancing is key to curbing the pandemic.

My Point was that Image was fake, Now since you raise question related to Building, Here is the answer, Image is from Kolkata (West Bengal state), Until very recent it was Communist ruled State (CPI), Thus you will see a lot of Old buildings in old part of city and here is fun fact due to communists policies every family was given for 99 year lease for less the a USD per mont. can you imagine? Now any government can not face wrath of tenants by making new ones or giving that land to private builders. Can you imagine a 2 bedroom apartment in central lagos for just only hundred naira?
