Death Toll From COVID-19 Passes 2 Million

As of Friday, the global death toll from COVID-19 has reached two million, with vaccines being created at a breakneck speed across the world in an attempt to eliminate the evil since the pandemic was first detected in Wuhan over a year ago.
John Hopkins University compiled the number of dead and stated that it equals the population of Brussels, Mecca, Minsk, or Vienna, which is equivalent to the population of the Cleveland Metropolitan area or the entire state of Nebraska.
U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres stated that- “Behind this terrible number are names and faces – the smile that will now only be a memory, the seat forever empty at the dinner table, the room that echoes with the silence of a loved one.” As well as pointed out that the toll “has been made worse by the absence of a global coordinated effort. Science has succeeded, but solidarity has failed.”
In wealthy countries, such as the United States, Britain, Israel, Canada, and Germany people have been given some measures of protection with at least one dose of a vaccine developed with revolutionary speed. But for other countries such as Iran, India, Mexico, and Brazil, whose protective measures are yet to progress further are stated to have at least another year of loss and hardship. They are also account for about a quarter of the world wide death poll.
