Grim milestone as world passes one million coronavirus deaths

more than one million people around the world have now died with Covid-19, according to the Johns Hopkins University tally, with the pace of fatalities picking up as infections again surge in several countries. The grim milestone comes nine months after the coronavirus first emerged in Wuhan in China. https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0929/116... The true global death toll is probably far higher. Deaths from coronavirus-related illnesses have doubled from half a million in just three months. The United States has reported the most deaths - more than 205,000 - followed by Brazil, India, Mexico and the UK. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak a pandemic in March. UN Secretary-General António Guterres called it a "mind-numbing" figure and "an agonising milestone". "Yet we must never lose sight of each and every individual life," he said in a video message. "They were fathers and mothers, wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, friends and colleagues. The pain has been multiplied by the savageness of this disease."
