Global confirmed cases of COVID-19 passed the 3 million mark on Monday as New Zealand, several European nations and a few U.S. states took steps to emerge from prolonged lockdowns aimed at slowing transmissions.
A third of those cases are in the United States, which has become the epicenter of the global coronavirus pandemic. The number of U.S. cases neared the 1 million mark accompanied by over 56,000 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins University and Google data trackers. That is fast approaching the 58,220 American lives lost in the Vietnam War, which ended 45 years ago this week.
