The US has passed more than one million Covid-related deaths, the White House has announced.

It's the highest official total in the world, although the World Health Organization believes the true death toll may be much higher elsewhere.

The US has also recorded more than 80 million Covid cases, out of a 330 million population.

The first confirmed case was reported on 20 January 2020, when a man flew home to Seattle from Wuhan in China. The 35-year-old survived, after 10 days of pneumonia, coughs, fever, nausea and vomiting. But deaths began to be reported just a few weeks later.

Reflecting on the pandemic, health care workers describe when morgues were overwhelmed and many medical staff lives were lost.

The 成人快手's Nada Tawfik hears that although the worst is over in terms of the virus, there is a new crisis in recruitment of staff numbers, as many leave or plan to leave the profession.
