Washington: The US death toll from the coronavirus topped 300,000 on Monday, local time, just as the country began dispensing COVID-19 shots in a monumental campaign to conquer the outbreak.
The number of dead rivals the population of the cities of St Louis, Missouri or Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is equivalent to repeating a tragedy on the scale of Hurricane Katrina every day for five-and-a-half months. It is more than five times the number of Americans killed in the Vietnam War. It is equal to a September 11th attack every day for more than 100 days. The numbers are staggering – the most impactful respiratory pandemic that we have experienced in over 102 years, since the iconic 1918 Spanish flu, Dr Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious-disease expert, said days before the milestone.
