The U.S. has had more than 5 million coronavirus cases – that’s bigger than the population of Ireland, New Zealand, Panama and others.
The United States has more coronavirus cases than many countries have people. With over 5 million confirmed cases, more people have been infected in the U. S. than the total population of places like Ireland, New Zealand, Panama, Croatia, Jamaica and numerous other countries. The U. S. has had more confirmed cases and more deaths from the virus than any nation in the world, with over 163,000 lives lost in the U. S. (Several other countries had a higher death rate per capita, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.) California and Florida have each had over half a million cases, while the totals in New York and Texas aren’t far behind. However, New York — a major hotspot early in the pandemic — has managed to “flatten the curve” and reduce the spread of the virus, even as numbers keep climbing in many other states.
