In April, number of COVID-19 passed the 3 million mark and world went into the state of recession with a thread of events related to virus, economy, conspiracy theories, bans and international relations happening almost everyday. After USA was named the one-third of the total number of cases around the word, Donald Trump took the centre stage by making certain gestures. Firstly, American President stopped funding for the World Health Organization pending a review, for mistakes in handling the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and for being “China-centric”, prompting international criticism. Trump also labelled the virus man-made which scientist later revealed to be a false contemplation. On April 23^rd, Donald Trump made it to the international news channels again by suggesting that coronavirus might be treated by injecting disinfectant or UV lights into a human body at a White House press briefing although the  government officials and disinfectant companies quickly stated that doing so is not only extremely dangerous but potentially deadly.
