The United States blew past another tragic landmark in the fight against coronavirus today (May 27, 2020), surpassing 100,000 deaths nationwide, according to the NY Daily News website.
The devastating toll -- reported by Johns Hopkins University's Coronavirus Resource Center -- is much higher than any other country in the world and vastly exceeds the number of Americans killed in every conflict since the Korean War.
The deadly virus originated in Wuhan, China, with the first official case diagnosed on December 1, 2019.
As the disease spread worldwide, President Donald Trump insisted in January after the first U.S. patient was diagnosed that the nation had it "totally under control."
