Kathmandu, December 21. During the three years of the pandemic, the USA has seen more than 1 million of its people die of COVID-19 infection.

On Tuesday, Johns Hopkins University released a report which it showed that more than 100 million (100,002,248) cases have been confirmed in the United States since January 2020.

The report also said that the epidemic death toll reached 1,088,218 on Tuesday afternoon.

With the most cases and fatalities worldwide—more than 15% of all cases and more than 16% of all deaths worldwide—the United States continues to be the country most severely affected by the pandemic.

The report identifies the four most affected states as;

1. California – 11.6 million cases

2. Texas – 8.1 million cases

3. Florida – 7.3 million cases

4. New York – 6.5 million cases

University’s data seems controversial because,  in May of 2021, world-renowned immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci, who also serves as the Biden Administration’s main medical advisor, claimed on a televised program that the United States COVID death toll was undercounted.

At the time, the death toll was about 6 lakhs, but Fauci claimed that the actual number of deaths was over 9 lakhs. “That’s a little higher than I expected the undercounting to be, but, you know, the models are sometimes spot on, and sometimes they’re a little wrong.” Fauci opined.
