TK Media translated and adapted Visual Capitalist's infographic that tells the story of pandemics throughout history and their scale.
The scale of the coronavirus looks insignificant against the backdrop of the plague, the Spanish flu or smallpox. However, the coronavirus outbreak has existed for only four months, and in that time the epidemic has already become a pandemic.
To date, 197 thousand cases have been confirmed worldwide. Of these, 8 thousand have died, 82 thousand have recovered, and 107 thousand are still ill.
