US death toll overtakes Italy as world’s highest

Earlier we reported that the US death toll was expected to soon overtake Italy as the highest in the world – and that has now happened.

There have now been 19,701 deaths reported by the US, according to John Hopkins University. That compares to 19,468 reported by Italy’s government.

Regardless of which country has reported a greater number of deaths, it is a tragedy for both.
