we crossed 100,000 reported cases of covid-19 in 100 [countries].

Adverbs of degree

It's certainly travelling, that so many people and countries have been affected

Now that the virus has a foothold in so many countries,

the threat of a pandemic has become very real.

But it would be the first pandemic in history that could be controlled.

The bottom line is we are not at the mercy of the virus.

Of the four countries with the most cases, China is bringing its epidemic

under control and there is now a decline in new cases being reported

Both of these countries demonstrate that it's never too late to turn back

We're encouraged that Italy is taking aggressive measures

to contain its epidemic, and we hope that those measures prove effective

Let our shared humanity be the antidote to our shared threat.
