The World Trade Organization(WTO) chief Roberto Azevedo said today that the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/coronavirus-timeline-from-covid-19s-origin-to-spread-291354">coronavirus</a> could lead to the "deepest economic recession or downturn of our lifetimes" the world grapples with the virus.

"We should aim to make the most of all potential drivers of sustainable growth to reverse this situation," the WTO chief said. The global trade body said that growth is expected to plummet by up to a third this year due to the pandemic sweeping the world.

"World trade is expected to fall by between 13 percent and 32 percent in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupts normal economic activity and life around the world," it said.

WTO said trade was already slowing since last year but now "is expected to register double-digit declines in trade volumes in nearly all regions this year".

"This crisis is first and foremost a health crisis which has forced governments to take unprecedented measures to protect people's lives," Azevedo said, adding,"the unavoidable declines in trade and output will have painful consequences for households and businesses, on top of the human suffering caused by the disease itself."

The virus has already claimed over 76,000 lives with Europe being the most affected after China where it originated in December last year. There are already 1,447,466 cases of infection worldwide with 399, 929 affected in the US- the highest in the world, followed by 146, 690 in Spain.

Over 17,000 people have died to COVID-19 in Italy which has been the worst affected country in the world after Spain where 14, 555 people have died so far. In France, over 10,000 people have died. In the United Kingdom, over 6,000 people have died with PM Johnson in ICU after being hit by the virus himself.&nbsp;

Countrywide lockdown will not be lifted in one go on April 14: PM Modi to MPs

The UN Security Council(UNSC) finally seems to have woken up to the coronavirus reality. The pandemic now seems to fit the 'geo-political' scope of the body. 
&nbsp; 
Nine elected members of UNSC have written to the body's president requesting a meeting on the "peace and security" impacts of COVID-19.

Jose Singer, the special envoy from the Dominican Republic has given the nod. The meeting is apparently taking shape and it may happen before this week ends. Even the UNSC general will finally be briefing the council on the pandemic. 
&nbsp; 
The UNSC chair wants the meeting to take place first and see how the events play out but there are two draft resolutions currently in circulation. One among the permanent members and another among the non-permanent states.&nbsp;

The Security Council may wish to take up one of them especially the one prepared by Estonia. This resolution highlights the growing concerns about the unprecedented extent of the coronavirus outbreak. It calls for full transparency over the pandemic. A clear reference to the growing criticism that China is hiding vital details about the origin of the virus.

However, China is expected to be supported by Russia much like last month. The US is yet to take a stand - the Trump administration seems to have adopted a softer stand on China which leaves France and the United Kingdom as the last hope. Both these nations have been badly hit by the coronavirus. They may try to pin some responsibility.

On March 3, Boris Johnson boasted about shaking hands with coronavirus patients. Three weeks later, he developed mild symptoms of the virus and went into self-isolation. The 55-year-old British prime minister is under critical care. The news couldn't have come at a worse time when Britain is struggling to contain the coronavirus. Hospitals across the island nation are overwhelmed. The National Health Services (NHS) is under intense pressure. The death toll has breached the 5,000 mark and the number of confirmed cases is ten times more with 52,000 and counting. The Britons are not alone in their struggle, several high-profile names in the government have contracted the deadly disease. There is a growing uncertainty about the future of British leadership, the questions are adding up. Who will lead the United Kingdom if team Johnson is incapacitated? Does the country have a 'Plan B'? Who is in charge of the nuclear codes? The British constitution with its contradictory precedents offers no formal succession scenario. There is no guidance for such circumstances in the cabinet manual either. But for now, British foreign secretary Dominic Raab has been tasked with running the country. Raab once ran against Boris Johnson to be the leader of the Conservative Party and the Prime Minister in 2019. Dominic Raab is now the stand-by leader of a country which is an official nuclear-weapon state. The United Kingdom has four nuclear submarines and a stockpile of about 215 nuclear warheads. The British government has refused to comment on any national security issues because it hasn't dealt with such 'what if' questions in nearly half a century. June 1953: The last time Britain dealt with a similar situation was back in June 1953 when Winston Churchill had suffered a stroke while in office. Even senior ministers were unaware of his illness. Churchill surprised doctors and returned to 10 downing street in just two months. Now another British prime minister is fighting for his life and his illness is not a secret to anyone. Boris Johnson may have got his 'Churchill moment', but it may not be the one he meant it to be.
