The total number of registered COVID19 cases worldwide exceeded 100,000 yesterday. At the same time, the number of new cases in China fell below 100 for the first time. More than 55,000 were completely cured. Mortality varies from 0.6 to 4%. In Italy there is still a huge increase in both the sick and the dead. China has thus shown how successfully it can deal with this global threat, while Italy has no way to stop the expansion, and currently most of the imported cases are from Italy. There are also visible shortcomings in personal responsibility and possibly epidemiological surveillance in Slovenia, where medical workers came to work even though they had all the symptoms of the disease and a positive epidemiological survey. In neighboring Croatia, there is currently full control and everything is working, and here in BiH, at least for now, a great job is being done. It is crucial, of course, that residents show responsibility to society and do not hide information when entering the country. Only in this way can we control the narrow population around a potentially infected person and stop the spread. That is the key to everything. It is not in hospitalization and treatment. There are still no cases of the disease in KS.
