Michigan has reported more than 3.3 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine administered, as of Wednesday, with 27.1% of residents having received at least one dose.

According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 29.8 million cases have been reported in the U.S., with more than 542,300 deaths reported from the virus.

Worldwide, more than 123 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 2.7 million have died. More than 69 million have recovered, according to Johns Hopkins University. The true numbers are certainly much higher, because of limited testing, different ways nations count the dead and deliberate under-reporting by some governments.
