18.8 million people infected; 706,000 people dead. That’s the toll that COVID-19 has exacted on the world. It’s a heavy toll that grows heavier when you realize that these are the “official numbers,” the actual number might be much higher.
According to the head of the CDC, in a Washington Post article, coronavirus cases in the US may be ten times higher than reported. That is frightening.
These numbers are scary; the human mind wasn’t made to picture a million people let alone almost 20 million.
