Bells at Washington cathedral ring 1,000 times in tribute to nearly one million Covid deaths in US
Bells at Washington National Cathedral ring 1,000 times as a tribute to one million Covid-19 deaths –– a tragic milestone that President Biden says is heavier toll than"WW1, WW2, and Vietnam" combined.
The bells at Washington National Cathedral have rung out 1,000 times, with each toll representing 1,000 deaths from Covid-19, as the United States closed in on the grim milestone of almost one million Covid dead. As of Monday, it had racked up more than 995,000 deaths from the virus, according to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University.
The cathedral's funeral bell had previously rung when the United States passed other symbolic milestones in the pandemic, such as in September 2020, when the country marked 200,000 deaths.
