“The global death toll from the coronavirus topped a staggering 3 million people Saturday amid repeated setbacks in the worldwide vaccination campaign and a deepening crisis in places such as Brazil, India and France.
The number of lives lost, as compiled by Johns Hopkins University, is about equal to the population of Kyiv, Ukraine; Caracas, Venezuela; or metropolitan Lisbon, Portugal. It is bigger than Chicago (2.7 million) and equivalent to Philadelphia and Dallas combined.”
Covid-19 has exacted an unimaginable toll on the World and humanity in general. The infection numbers continue to rise in a major setback to efforts to control the disease that is relentless in its spread. Vaccinations are now the last line of defense to finally try and get control over the Coronavirus and suppress its ability to continue upending lives all over the planet. Unfortunately, vaccination distribution efforts have been disastrous in most parts of the World which is hampering the efforts to control the disease. That must change.
