The global death toll from COVID-19 topped 5 million on Monday, less than two years into a crisis that has not only devastated poor countries but also humbled wealthy ones
Together, the United States, the European Union, Britain and Brazil account for one-eighth of the world's population but nearly half of all reported deaths.
The global death toll from COVID-19 topped 5 million on Monday, less than two years into a crisis that has not only devastated poor countries but also humbled wealthy ones with first-rate health care systems.
The U.S. leads the world in the number of confirmed deaths from the virus — 745,800 people — followed by Brazil and India, according to Johns Hopkins University's coronavirus tracker.
The U.N. secretary general also says it' a "global shame" that "while wealthy countries are rolling-out third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, only about five per cent of people in Africa are fully vaccinated."
While it took just over a year for the global COVID death toll to hit 2.5 million, the next 2.5 million deaths were recorded over the past eight months as the highly contagious delta variant spread around the world.
Few believed it possible in early 2020, but the Coronavirus pandemic has now claimed 5 million lives. Nearly two years after the first outbreak in Wuhan, China, COVID-19 remains a leading cause of death globally.
The coronavirus is on the cusp of having killed 5 million people since it first emerged in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
