The number of Nepalese who have succumbed to death from deadly coronavirus has reached 15 in the United States.
Anil Limbu, 48 an Uber driver, died on March 24 and he was the first Nepali to die of coronavirus in the US.
Then, three Nepalese Sonam Lama, 40, Thokme Bista, 48 and Ajaya Man Chhochoo, 56 breathed their last on April 5, 2020 because of coronavirus.
Similarly, Nima Temba Sherpa, 43 and Raj Kumar Thapa, 47 passed away on April 8 and April 11 respectively.
Likewise, Pawan Kumar Malla, 44 and Mahesh Amatya, 70 died of coronavirus on April 15 and April 16 respectively. Among 15 losses of lives, 12 succumbed to death in New York, 2 in Colorado and one in Virginia.
Most of the deceased are the Nepalese living in New York which is the epicenter of coronavirus crisis in the USA. Rest in peace to the departed souls.
Meanwhile, according to NRNA sources, a total of 54 Nepalese living in the US, the UK, UAE, Turkey, Ireland, the Netherlands and Japan have succumbed to death owing to coronavirus so far.
According to media reports, as of the end of April, 2020, as many as 1,000 Nepalese were feared to have contracted the coronavirus in the United States.
Meanwhile, according to NAO (Nepali Association of Oregon) sources, nobody from Nepal living in Portland and Oregon has been tested positive. The Nepalese community population in this part of the US is estimated to be about 1,000 - 1,200 people.
As of April 21, Tuesday, 1956 people have tested positive and number of people who died of coronavirus in Oregon has reached 75. On Feb 28, 2020, the first case of coronavirus was announced in Oregon.
From what we know about the fatal consequences of the global terrorist disease from the news media as of April 21, Wednesday, 800,932 people have tested positive and 43,006 people have died of coronavirus in the US, whereas confirmed global cases are 2,501,156 and 171,810 have died in the world because of novel coronavirus.
America has been hard-hit and badly affected by coronavirus catastrophe.
These statistics paint a more troubled portrait of the human losses.
We are still grappling for answers to explain the sudden rise of the coronavirus deaths in the world and there is still no breakthrough or solution in the near future. The coronavirus crisis and its economic fallout is beyond imagination.
But this is not the time for panicking and saber-rattling. The right move for the whole world is to make correct decision: stay home, stay safe, keep cleaning hands, wear safety masks and keep social distancing.
The massive human casualty has elicited soul-searching around the world even as it raised more basic questions about why the world leaders were unable to take basic safety measures at the very beginning of the eruption of corona volcano.
As the world faces a catastrophe of apocalyptic coronavirus, nations are bogged down into deep economic problems.
Poor economy affected by corona tsunami is driving the people across the world to be disillusioned by myopic vision of the world leaders.
The whole world is facing the worst crisis in its history and the situation may further deteriorate if early solution is not figured out.
