Latest reports coming in from the United States has it that more
than 100,000 people have died from the coronavirus in the US, according
to the experts in the field.
The country passed the grim milestone Wednesday, with more than 1.6
million testing positive for the bug, according to a count from Johns
Hopkins University.
The news comes just over four months after officials announced that
the virus had reached US soil — when a Washington state man was identified as the first patient on Jan. 21.
Since then, more Americans have been lost to the coronavirus than deaths from the Vietnam and Korean wars combined.
The US continues to lead the world for the highest death toll, followed by the United Kingdom, Italy and France, the data shows.
Still, there have been optimistic signs of relief for the US, with many of the worse-hit areas seeing key measures declining.
