The “number of COVID deaths in the U.S.” is a measure of the total fatalities within the country due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. For example, as of August 2022, this number had exceeded 1 million.
Tracking these COVID-related deaths is crucial for public health monitoring, informing policy decisions, and allocating resources to mitigate the impact of the pandemic. Historically, accurate data on the number of COVID deaths has been essential in understanding the prevalence and severity of the disease, as well as in evaluating the effectiveness of public health interventions.
