More than 5 million people have died from COVID-19 in less than two years. Johns Hopkins University’s tracker rolled over to the eye-popping seven-figure death toll early Monday morning as the world-altering virus continues to ravage the globe. Of that, the United States has accounted for more than 745,000 deaths, or about 15% of the world’s deaths and the highest death toll for any single country. Brazil and India follow with about 607,000 and 458,000 deaths, respectively. In the Western world, the COVID-19 vaccine has drastically helped stem the spread and more extreme symptoms and the FDA approved the use of the Pfizer vaccine for children ages 5-11 last week.
