Shafaq News / Former US ambassador to Bahrain, Adam Ariel was surprised that the world believed that New York City had a real problem in tackling Corona virus, indicating that the real problem would appear in other regions.

"If you think that New York has a problem, just wait for Corona virus to infect millions of internally displaced people and refugees in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Kenya and Gaza," Ariel tweeted.

This is the only way to move forward. "
