According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 28.1 million cases have been reported in the United States., with more than 500,000 dead reported by the virus.

All over the world, more than 111 million people were confirmed infected and more than 2.4 million died. More than 62 million were recovered, according to Johns Hopkins University. The real numbers are certainly much higher, due to limited tests, the different ways in which nations count deaths and the deliberate reporting of governments.
