The United States has reached yet another grim milestone. On Tuesday (19th January 2021) the confirmed COVID-19 death toll topped 400,000, on the eve before President-Elect Joe Biden is inaugurated as the country’s 46th President. The milestone comes just over a month after the U.S surpassed 300,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths (14th December 2020), and only seventeen (17) days since hitting 350,000 reported deaths (2nd January 2021), according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University. The number of lives lost in the U.S could fill Madison Square Garden in New York City nearly twenty (20) times over and is roughly equivalent to the population of Tampa, Florida, or Tulsa, Oklahoma. The 400,000 lives lost is more deaths than the number of U.S soldiers that died in battle during World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War combined, an analysis of data compiled by the Department of Veterans Affairs shows. Globally, the virus has claimed more than 2 Million lives so far. The U.S accounts for approximately 19.5% of the World's COVID-19 related deaths and now top 24 Million total cases.
