Flags today will be flying at half-staff today on orders of President Biden to commemorate the deaths of 1 Million Americans who have died due to Covid. President Biden released the statement this morning remembering those who have passed in the United States within the last two years due to complications with the Covid Pandemic.

Biden is also set to address a global Covi summit later today in a pre-recorded statement. Various trackers have different totals for the number of Americans who have died from the coronavirus. 

Compiled data from NBC News shows more than 1 Million Americans have already died from Covid but the Johns Hopkins University’s tracker totals just above 998,000.

Cases are on the verge of rising again across the country. However, the experts are not panicking due to the mild severity in the omicron sub-variant and the massive amounts of vaccinated individuals.

The United States is now learning to live with the pandemic even as officials say it is not over. All states have dropped mask mandates and social distance requirements.
