Face Of Nation International : The USA has 3 million documented cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, a virulent bug that crawled into the national consciousness early in the year and is likely to consume the rest of it.The grim milestone reached Wednesday represents roughly a quarter of the world’s cases and the same percentage of its deaths.
Though many Americans may be numb to the growing coronavirus toll, avoiding the reality will probably make matters worse.
Consider these statistics: It took the USA a little more than three months to hit 1 million cases on April 28. It took about half that time, 44 days, to get to 2 million on June 11 and only 26 days to reach 3 million on July 8. By that gauge, if no new measures are taken, 4 million cases could be tallied as soon as July 22.
