US hits 1 million deaths from COVID-19

The United States has reached 1 million reported deaths from COVID-19, according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a number that shows the shocking toll the virus has taken on the nation.

The U.S. has had more deaths per capita than Western Europe or Canada, and while new deaths have fallen, they are still rising.

It is also expected that the United States, like other countries, has undercounted the true number of deaths from the coronavirus.
