The cumulative death toll of COVID-19 in the U.S. is 1/5 of the deaths worldwide.
A whopping 500,000 people died in a year after the first deaths came out in early February of last year.
That’s 1 in 660 Americans.
There are also over 28 million cumulative confirmed cases.
One in 12 people is infected with Corona 19.
President Biden called it a’heartbreaking milestone’ and instructed all federal agencies to bet five days early.
The White House also held a memorial event to honor the victims.

The overall Corona 19 situation in the United States has improved significantly since the inauguration of the Biden administration.
This is because vaccination has been in full swing and quarantine policies such as mandatory wearing of masks have been strengthened.
However, the spread of the highly contagious mutant virus is a variable.
So far, 1,700 cases of mutant virus infection have been identified in the United States, but the spread continues.
According to an analysis at the University of Washington, it is estimated that by the end of April, the number of mutant virus infections will soar to the level of 80% of new confirmed cases.
Mr. Pouch stressed the need to speed up vaccination more than now to prevent the spread of the mutation.

More than 4,4 million people have been vaccinated at least once in the United States.
It is 13% of the total population, and it is far below the 70-80% level of group immunity.
