More than 4 million dead from corona worldwide: "The plague is far from over"
The world has recorded another dismal milestone, and official figures are far lower than the situation on the ground.
Although there has been a decline in the number of deaths, the spread of new strains and inequality in vaccines make it difficult to fight the virus.
More than 600,000 died in the United States, half a million in Brazil and 400,000 in India

The death toll from the corona virus in the world crossed four million today (Thursday) - according to data from the University of John Hopkins in the United States, which monitors the mortality and morbidity in the world.
It has taken the virus nine months to reach the first million victims since the pace accelerated.
Another million people died within three and a half months, and the third million were recorded within three months.
The number of deaths reported worldwide has recently waned, in part due to the progress of vaccination campaigns, but experts believe the true number of victims from the epidemic is much higher.
Excess mortality figures indicate that poor countries have been hit harder than their official figures say.

The chairman of the World Health Organization said it was a dismal milestone, and that the death toll continued to rise due in part to the dangerous variants of the corona and inequality in the distribution of vaccines around the world.
In the United States, the death toll exceeded 600,000 last month, followed by Brazil, with more than half a million, and India with more than 400,000. , First identified in the country, is spreading rapidly around the world with fears that it is more resistant to vaccines than other strains.
