Achievement 4 by @daakye Task: Appplying Markdowns

Thank you very much @cryptokannon for this great task. It was made me learned a lot about the various markdowns we have and how and when to use them. Below is my entry;

COVID 19; TOP 10 AFRICAN COUNTRIES AFFECTED

With recent findings showing that the coronavirus pandemic has taken the lives of over 3 million people in the world, and with over 158 million live cases "^Source

There is no doubt that if care is not taken in due time to stop the virus, it can wipe away more than one-third of the world’s population.

"The coronavirus pandemic is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus named SARS coV 2."

It is transmitted through droplets from an infected person. Coughing and sneezing without covering the mouth releases droplets into the atmosphere, which settle on surfaces.

The table shows the 10 most affected African countries

AFRICAN COUNTRY	NUMBER OF CASES
South Africa	1,596,595
Morocco	513,864
Tunisia	320,813
Ethiopia	262,702
Egypt	237,410
Libya	179,970
Nigeria	165,419
Kenya	163,554
Algeria	124,104
Ghana	92,951

In the various countries that the cases are increasing, development and economic growth are constantly declining. The various sectors of the economy; primary, secondary, and mostly the tertiary (service rendering ) sectors are massively being affected by the pandemic. it is therefore incumbent on each and every one of us to abide by the safety protocols which include social distancing and regular handwashing to safeguard our lives. By so doing, we would be safeguarding the country and the world in the long run.
Thank you.
