‘Truly heartbreaking’: US surpasses 500,000 COVID deaths

The United States has now recorded more than half a million deaths from COVID-19 - by far the highest toll in the world.
It was just over a year ago that the country recorded its first fatality. And despite efforts to ramp up vaccinations, about 2,000 Americans are still dying every single day.
“Today, we mark a truly heartbreaking milestone – 500,071 dead,” US President Joe Biden said after a moment of silence was observed on Monday evening at the White House, which was lighted by hundreds of candles representing those who have died.

Al Jazeera’s Kristen Saloomey reports from Washington, DC.

The US has almost 4 million births a year. Our population didn't go lower.

What's truly heart breaking is when we can't ban smoking in spite of cigarettes causing millions upon millions of lung cancer deaths. Sad!!!

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:52-57

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17(KJV) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
