The global death toll from COVID-19 has crossed two million on Friday, which poses a huge problem to vaccine rollout.
Johns Hopkins University recorded the two millionth death just over a year after the COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, China, according to an Associated Press report.
The number of deaths is about equal to the population of Brussels, Mecca, Vienna, or Minsk. It is also almost equivalent to the entire state of Nebraska or the Cleveland metropolitan area.
Dr. Ashish Jha, a pandemic expert and dean of Brown University s School of Public Health, said there had been a terrible amount of death, despite the extraordinary work done by the scientific community.
