The US death toll from COVID-19 has risen to more than 600,000, making it doubly tragic that more than 200,000 lives were lost after the vaccine became available.

The number of deaths is about the same as the population of Atlanta and St. Louis combined. It is equivalent to how many Americans die from cardiovascular disease or stroke each year.

The United States has the highest reported toll. The U.S. accounts for 4% of the world's population but 15% of the deaths from the coronaviruses since the outbreak began in China two years ago.

The true death toll in the U.S. and around the world is believed to be higher because of cases that were overlooked or concealed.

The University of Washington has a forecasting model that predicts deaths in the US by March 1.

President Joe Biden called it a tragic milestone. He again urged unvaccinated Americans to get shots for themselves and their children, as well as for the vaccine to get booster shots.

Biden urged Americans to keep their country safe, protect themselves and those around them, and honor the memory of those who have died. It is time.

The vaccine was available in December of last year and was thrown open to all adults by April of this year, which health experts say is why many of the deaths in the United States were heartbreaking.

Roughly 200 million Americans are fully vaccine free. That is not enough to keep the virus in check.

Chris Beyrer is an epidemiologist at the JohnsHopkinsBloomberg School of Public Health. They are not immunized. It is a terrible tragedy.

The country had a death toll of 300,000 when the vaccine was first introduced. In June and October it hit 600,000 and 700,000.

The US has crossed the latest threshold with cases and hospitalizations on the rise again in a spike driven by the highly contagious delta variant, which arrived in the first half of 2021. The omicron variant is gaining a foothold in the country, though scientists are not sure how dangerous it is.

Beyrer said that in March or April 2020, there was a worst-case scenario of 240,000 American deaths.

He said that he thought that there were 240,000 American deaths. We are past three times that number. He said that we are still not out of the woods.

The US Covid-19 Death Toll has hit a million.
