Cases reaching 25 million comes amid a nationwide vaccine rollout the Biden administration is now overseeing, after it began in December in the last weeks of the Trump administration.

One epidemiologist who spoke to the New York Times said, “Twenty-five million cases is an incredible scale of tragedy,”

The U.S. marked 10 million total covid cases in November, 15 million in December, and 20 million at the start of the new year.
