President Biden marks 500,000 lives lost in the U.S. to Covid-19. msnbc.com/live
Pres. Biden: "Today, we mark a truly grim, heartbreaking milestone. 500,071 dead. That's more Americans who have died in one year in this pandemic than in World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War combined. That's more lives lost to this virus than any other nation on Earth."
President Biden reflects on the 500,000 lives lost to Covid-19: "We often hear people described as ordinary Americans. There's no such thing. There's nothing ordinary about them. The people we lost were extraordinary. They span generations. Born in America, emigrated to America."
"That's how you heal — you have to remember. And it's also important to do that as a nation. Those who have lost loved ones, this is what I know: They're never truly gone. They'll always be part of your heart," President Biden says.
President Biden and VP Harris lead a moment of silence to honor the 500,000 lives lost in the U.S. to Covid-19.
