NEW DELHI : In late February, roughly two weeks before the World Health Organization officially declared that the world was in the grip of a pandemic, San Francisco-based Tomás Pueyo began to obsessively track the journey of the novel coronavirus. “By then, this thing was already in 60 countries," he told Mint.One weekend in early March, when his wife began showing covid-like symptoms and had to isolate herself in a hospital, Pueyo decided to warn the world about what was coming.
So, he sat down and wrote a blog post on Medium titled “Coronavirus: Why You Must Act Now".The data-heavy post with 13 charts would unexpectedly clock over 40 million views within a month.
