Joe Biden heartbroken over 500,000 COVID-19 death toll

Feb 23 2021 Share

US COVID deaths have surpassed the 500,000 threshold, with infections standing at 28.1 million, way above any other country. Warning against getting used to the misery this brings, President Joe Biden, along with the vice-president and family, held a respectful moment of silence.

Flags were lowered to half-mast for five days to commemorate the ‘heartbroken milestone’. Calling the losses ‘extraordinary’ people, he related the nation’s losses with his own familial experiences with tragedy.

With National Cathedral bells tolling 500 times, once for every 1000 Americans lost, Biden diverges from his predecessor Donald Trump in bringing the required attention to the pandemic and its hefty price.
