The United States has now passed the gloomy milestone of one million dead in covid-19.
It shows a compilation made by NBC News.
The number of deaths has decreased in recent weeks. But every day, about 360 people still die in covid-19 in the United States.
On Wednesday, the death toll exceeded one million people, reports the American television channel NBC News.
- Every single one of these people touched hundreds of others, says Diana Ordonez, whose husband Juan died in April 2020, 40 years old.
- It is that exponential number of other people who walk around with a small hole in the heart, she continues.
The figure means that the United States has the most deaths in covid-19 in the world. Then comes Brazil, with just over 660,000 confirmed deaths.
Every day, about 360 Americans still die in covid-19.

"Far from over"
The figure of one million dead has been expected - but that does not make it any less frightening, says Christopher Murray at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
And we have not yet seen the last deaths.
- This is far from over, says Murray.
In February, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released CDC data showing that the risk of dying in covid-19 is 20 times higher for the unvaccinated than for those who are fully vaccinated and have received extra doses.
