The milestone is the latest tragic reminder of the unrelenting nature of the pandemic even as people are shedding masks, travel is resuming and businesses are reopening around the globe. The death toll, compiled by Johns Hopkins University, stood at 5,996,882 as of Sunday morning and was expected to pass the 6 million mark later in the day.
And despite its wealth and vaccine availability, the United States is nearing 1 million reported deaths on its own. But despite the enormity of the figure, the world undoubtedly hit its 6 millionth death some time ago. Poor record-keeping and testing in many parts of the world has led to an undercount in coronavirus deaths, in addition to excess deaths related to the pandemic but not from actual COVID-19 infections, like people who died from preventable causes but could not receive treatment because hospitals were full.
The United States has the biggest official death toll in the world, but the numbers have been trending downward over the last month. Tonga reported its first outbreak after the virus arrived with international aid vessels following the Jan. 15 eruption of a massive volcano, followed by a tsunami. It now has several hundred cases, but — with 66% of its population fully vaccinated — it has so far reported people suffering mostly mild symptoms and no deaths.
In a good sign, at the end of last month Africa surpassed Europe in the number of doses administered daily, but only about 12.5% of its population has received two shots. Mexico has reported 300,000 deaths, but with little testing, a government analysis of death certificates puts the real number closer to 500,000. Still, four weeks of falling infection rates have left health officials optimistic.
Deadliest fake flu ever
⚠️The Timeline of COVID-19⚠️ MUST WATCH‼️ Does experimental vaccines work with Covid ?! Only truth can end the pandemic ! CCPLiedPeopleDied CCP≠CHINESE CCPVirus
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and some 600 missiles somehow disrupted the plans of those who invented and spread COVID-19. The factories are wiped out likely by some of the missiles. All you need now is a helmet, so get rid of that mask and find a helmet or nuke suit....
wasn't it a hoax?
How many of them died from the vaccine 🤷🏼♂️
Yuch and according to the Bible we ain't seen nothing yet.
Yeah . But no sanctions or ban against the country which unleashed the virus . Canada is happy with the theatre of banning Russian vodka.
'let er rip!'
And all the sudden the science changed
And Ford drops protections, go figure....
1918's influenza probably killed close to 3 million. This one beat it. (If I'm wrong, please cite a credible, reliable, reputable source to correct). Condolences to the families who lost loved ones. To the fringe: get help
So global survival rate of 99.92%. More people globally died of cancer (10 million)
Who the fuck cares!!! Move on!!
Wow!!!! About the same number as the people who were murdered in the Holocaust!!!!!!!
Nobody cares. All people who already had other medical conditions and would have died of something else sooner than later anyways. Culling of the herd. CovidIsOver
What are normal flu deaths? I've no idea just want to compare
Sure it is
So the flu killed more and yet we never took precautions. If you’re that afraid of this virus, do yourself a favour and stay home.
This makes Covid 19 the 7th deadliest virus in all of human history.
It seems like a great time to take off our masks and live in a world where we act like COVID doesn't exist.
It's endemic. It's over. Get over it.
But Doug said covid is over....
