1 million COVID deaths: Pandemic's tragic toll in U.S. extends far beyond the numbers

As the U.S. faces the tragic milestone of one million deaths from COVID-19, President Biden says the "irreplaceable losses" of the pandemic must not be forgotten. 

"As a Nation, we must not grow numb to such sorrow.  To heal, we must remember.  We must remain vigilant against this pandemic and do everything we can to save as many lives as possible," Mr. Biden said Thursday morning.

Flags will fly at half-staff through the weekend, the White House announced.
