Coronavirus deaths worldwide passed 4 million

I wrote this blog for a Reading task. Coronavirus deaths worldwide have passed 4 million people last Friday. The 4 million death count comes from the Reuters News Media tally, which is believed to be one of the most accurate tally worldwide. It took more than a year for the Covid-19 death toll to hit two million, while the next two million were recorded in just 166 days, according to a data analysis. US, Brazil, India, Russia and Mexico have about 50 percent of all deaths in the world. However, Peru, Hungary, Bosnia, the Czech Republic and Gibraltar have the highest death rates. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimate that the deaths are much higher then said.

Warriors to drop women’s team in 2021

For this Reading workshop we had to write about an article that we read. The New Zealand Warriors will not have a women’s team this year. Last week the club announced that they will not be participating in the 2021 women’s NRL competition. The club said it was a financial decision due to the effects of Covid-19. Warriors chief executive Cameron George said the club is committed to rejoining the competition in 2022. A number of top Kiwi players have already headed to Australia to play in state leagues. Warriors captain Georgia Hale moved to Australia this year and has been playing in the NSW Premiership for the North Sydney Bears.
