The United States reached the grim milestone of 500,000 coronavirus deaths on Monday with the nationwide caseload surpassing 28.1 million, according to the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University.
The fatalities had reached 500,172 while the national case count rose to 28,184,218 as of 18:23 Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Monday.
The United States remains the nation worst hit by the pandemic, with the world's highest caseload and death toll, accounting for more than 25 percent of the global cases and over 20 percent of the global deaths.
The New York Times pointed out on Monday that the death toll from coronavirus in the U.S. is even more than that of World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War combined. Nevertheless, many health experts have said that the real number of fatalities may be higher.
Deaths from the COVID-19 has increased rapidly in the past two months in the United States. It took only 34 days for the death toll to reach 500,000 from 400,000.
Anthony Fauci, U.S. top infectious disease expert, said on Monday that the United States, as a highly developed rich country, has done worse than most of other countries in dealing with the COVID-19.
At the early phase of the outbreak in the United States, the White House had misled the public with words weakening the existence and threats of the coronavirus and missed the best opportunity to curb the disaster.
In April 2020, the then U.S. President Donald Trump suggested at a press briefing that injecting disinfectant into human body might kill the coronavirus, which astonished the public. It was not the first time he made such statement in order to shirk his responsibilities from the outbreak.
The Cable News Network (CNN) on Monday described the millstone of 500,000 COVID-19 deaths that such a nightmare seemed "unfathomable" a year ago.
