"The United States on Wednesday surpassed 1 million Covid-19 deaths, according
to data compiled by NBC News — a once unthinkable scale of loss even for the
country with the world’s highest recorded toll from the virus.
The number — equivalent to the population of San Jose, California, the 10th
largest city in the U.S. — was reached at stunning speed: 27 months after the
country confirmed its first case of the virus.
“Each of those people touched hundreds of other people,” said Diana Ordonez,
whose husband, Juan Ordonez, died in April 2020 at age 40, five days before
their daughter Mia’s fifth birthday. “It’s an exponential number of other
people that are walking around with a small hole in their heart.”
While deaths from Covid have slowed in recent weeks, about 360 people have
still been dying every day. The casualty count is far higher than what most
people could have imagined in the early days of the pandemic, particularly
because former President Donald Trump repeatedly downplayed the virus while in
office."
