NEW YORK — The number of confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide passed the 1 million threshold Thursday as the pandemic swept across the globe.
Johns Hopkins University’s website showed the milestone was hit Thursday afternoon. The count represents confirmed cases, but the true numbers are believed to be much higher.
Nearly 51,500 people have died from the virus.
The United States accounts for about 236,000 of the confirmed cases — more than any other country, according to the tally.
The milestone came on the same day that figures showed more than 6.6 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week in the latest indication that the pandemic is ravaging global economies.
And it’s still rising…it will keep rising, with the U.S. now contributing the lion’s share.
Tragic loss that could have been much less if we only had a leader.
All we’ve got is the lead weight.
But… we ARE the leader, aren’t we? I mean, we have more than anybody else and we shouldn’t let our enemies downplay that. Amurrrikah will always be first!
The orange buffoon and his lackeys predict 200,000 US deaths is not only a best case scenario but also a “great job”. Since they’re wrong about everything, lie about everything, let’s assume a real death toll between 500,000 and a million (it’ll probably be more). The actual experts are totally in line with that prediction. And, no matter how many people die, no matter how many people suffer and recover, no matter how many jobs/businesses are lost, Trump will claim he did a “perfect” job and that all the blame lies with Democrats. This is what happens with republicans in charge.
