President Joe Biden on Friday mourned the hundreds of thousands in the United States who have died from Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic, saying that"each soul is irreplaceable."
The US reported Friday that there had been more than 900,000 deaths from the coronavirus since the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Experts believe the true burden of disease to be much higher."Today, our nation marks another tragic milestone — 900,000 American lives have been lost to COVID-19," the President said in a written statement released Friday night.
