The coronavirus pandemic, while officially over, has killed a staggering 80,000-plus New Yorkers — and a total 1.13 million Americans — impacting virtually every facet of our lives.
The latest data compiled by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows 80,485 people in New York state died during the COVID-19 emergency — about half of them in New York City.
The New York City region was the initial epicenter of the COVID outbreak, but its quick spread also affected the rest of the nation.
From March 2020 through last week — when a federal law approved by Congress and President Biden ended the emergency — the virus killed 1,127,928 Americans.
Some elected officials and public health experts are urging people to stay current with COVID vaccinations — especially the elderly and immunocompromised.
“Even though the federal public health emergency has ended, I encourage every New Yorker to remain vigilant against COVID-19 and use all available tools to keep themselves, their loved ones and their communities safe and healthy,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in her latest COVID update.
