It is historic. We haven\u2019t seen anything even close to this for well over a hundred years since the 1918 pandemic of influenza,\u201d Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       \u201cIt\u2019s something that is stunning when you look at the numbers, almost unbelievable, but it\u2019s true,\u201d Fauci, the nation\u2019s top infectious disease expert, added. \u201cThis is a devastating pandemic, and it\u2019s historic. People will be talking about this decades and decades and decades from now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of late Sunday, 498,879 Americans have died from COVID-19, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coronavirus.jhu.edu\/map.html\" class=\"icon none\">data from Johns Hopkins University<\/a>. That\u2019s about twice as many deaths as the next-hardest-hit country, Brazil, which has about 247,000 deaths. About 2.5 million people have died worldwide, according to Hopkins data. Overall, the U.S. has had more than 28.1 million cases, also the most in the world by far, almost three times the totals of India and Brazil. More than 111.3 million people have been infected worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The number U.S. deaths is expected to officially surpass 500,000 sometime Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The death toll is far higher than the government\u2019s predictions last March, when the Trump administration estimated there could be 100,000 to 240,000 deaths.<\/p>\n<p>The first known coronavirus deaths in the U.S. occurred little more than a year ago, in February 2020 in California\u2019s Santa Clara County. It took until the end of May to reach the 100,000-death milestone, and until September to reach 200,000. By mid-December, 300,000 had died in the U.S., and that number hit 400,000 at the end of January.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past year, COVID-19 has killed about one in every 670 Americans.<\/p>\n<p>While coronavirus cases are declining sharply as more people get vaccinated, Fauci said now is not the time to relax.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe slope of downward trajectory is really very good and very impressive,\u201d Fauci told Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> in a separate interview Sunday. \u201cThe one thing we don\u2019t want to do is to be complacent that it\u2019s coming down so sharply that now we\u2019re out of the woods because we are still at a baseline of daily infection that\u2019s quite troublesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p>Despite the grim milestone, there is optimism headed forward. With supply constraints of vaccine doses easing, the Biden administration is looking to pivot its efforts toward distributing shots at a quicker pace, with a goal if vaccinating all eligible adults by the end of summer.<\/p>\n<p>The White House said Biden will deliver remarks at sunset Monday in memory of those who have died in the pandemic. He and first lady Dr. Jill Biden, along with Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will observe a moment of silence and light candles during a ceremony at the White House.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Mike Murphy\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mike_Murphy\"><\/span>Mike Murphy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
