The United States hit 2.5 million documented COVID-19 cases this weekend, bringing the number of people known to have contracted the disease worldwide to more than 10 million, according to the Johns Hopkins University tracker. The United States leads the grim statistics, with both the highest number of cases and the highest number of deaths, at over 125,000. The pandemic has been more effectively contained in China and Europe by way of strict measures including lockdowns and mandatory mask wearing, which are not in place across much of the United States.
