Announcements

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 38 million cases have been reported in the US, with more than 632,200 deaths reported by the virus. Globally, more than 5 billion doses of vaccine have been administered, including more than 363 million doses in the US alone.

All over the world, more than 213.9 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 4.4 million have died, according to Johns Hopkins University. The actual figures are certainly much higher, due to limited evidence, of different ways in which nations count the dead, and the deliberate under-reporting of some governments.
