Poland has more problems than just coronavirus

The news coming from Poland are getting darker by a day. Believe it or not coronavirus is just one of the problems they are facing. The second one is a drought. They didn't get any snow this winter, usually they get similar weather as New England, and now no rain this month. That will, and already is, cause the third problem, forest fires. Even as I write this, the Biebrza National Park is burning and because the forest “floor” is dry the firefighters are losing this fight.

As of today Poland has 10,034 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 404 related deaths. 

The scale of the increase in coronavirus incidence is stable, between 300 and 400 cases a day, which means that we managed to limit horizontal transmission - said Ministry of Health spokesman Wojciech Andrusiewicz. - There is no direct transmission from person to person on the street - he added.
