Johns Hopkins University reports that the U.S. surpassed 25 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 over the weekend, a figure that continues to dwarf the case totals of every other country around the world. But while case rates in the U.S. remain high, there does appear to be some light at the end of the tunnel.
The spread of the virus is on the decline after peaking earlier this month, and the number of Americans who have received a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine should surpass the number of Americans infected by the end of the week.
By surpassing 25 million cases, the U.S. now has more than double the amount of recorded COVID-19 cases than any other country. India ranks second around the world with 10.6 million cases of COVID-19.
The U.S. also ranks first in the world with more than 419,000 COVID-19 deaths, nearly double that of Brazil, which has recorded more than 217,000 deaths.
