U.S. Surpasses 1 Million Dead From Covid-19 as Number of New Cases Climb
After the U.S., the highest death tolls from covid-19 are in Brazil, which has reported over 663,000 deaths, India, which has seen over 523,000 deaths, and Russia, which has recorded more than 368,000 deaths from covid-19. Mexico rounds out the top five, with over 324,000 deaths from the disease.
The U.S., like many countries, has struggled to fight misinformation about the covid-19 vaccinations that have proved to be a life-saver for so many people who’ve gotten the jab. Conspiracy theories about widespread illness from the vaccines and even nonsense about injecting microchips is shockingly widespread on the internet.
The U.S. is ranked 63rd in the world for covid-19 vaccinations, with just 66.75% of the population fully vaccinated, according to. That puts the U.S. behind Sri Lanka , Laos , and Iran , just to name a few. Covid-19 infections have begun to climb back up again in the U.S., with 119,865 new cases on Wednesday and just 43 of the 50 states reporting. The country also reported 767 new deaths on Wednesday.
