The counter ticked over in the presidential office as well now

U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday commemorated the death of 1 million people in the Unites States from COVID-19, marking what he called "a tragic milestone" and urging Americans to "remain vigilant" amid the ongoing pandemic.
The United States on Wednesday recorded more than 1 million COVID-19 deaths, according to a Reuters tally, crossing a once-unthinkable milestone about two years after the first cases upended everyday life. The loss represents about one death for every 327 Americans, or more than the entire population of San Francisco or Seattle.
Worldometer is already 26K deaths over the million and the death toll is likely still under counted, but now it's officially over 1 million.

North Korea suddenly started reporting Covid numbers
https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/what-s-behind-north-korea-s-covid-19-admission-1.5901594
Before acknowledging its first domestic COVID-19 cases, North Korea spent 2 1/2 years rejecting outside offers of vaccines and steadfastly claiming that its superior socialist system was protecting its 26 million people from "a malicious virus" that had killed millions around the world.
Its surprise admission this week has left many outsiders wondering just how bad things really are, and there's rising worry that it could cause a major humanitarian crisis in a country with one of the world's worst public medical infrastructures.
Locally more and more people are getting infected around us and it seems my wife has it now. She is in a bad state, yesterday was so bad she said death would be better :/ She's been through a lot so that coming from her :( She's hurting all over, fevers (It's a heat wave here and she's shivering under a blanket) migraine headaches, bad cough, no taste, hard to breath when coughing gets bad. She's too stubborn to go to get help, not they they can do much anyway. The 3 vaccine doses will have to do...
She likely got it from out youngest who is still sick at home. He's off better, soar throat, extremely tired and bordering on a fever. He likely got it from his nephew that he played with over the weekend. His nephew is doing better, but he got it from his father who recently came back from honeymoon in Mexico and later got a confirmed Covid-19 test when he wasn't feeling well. He didn't get any help offered either, just advised to stay home for 5 days. He's doing ok.
But it managed to reach my wife despite being so careful all the time. I guess if she survives she'll be better protected for next time... Today is looking a bit better, hence I dare say 'if she survives', yesterday was looking very grim as if she wasn't there. Scary stuff.
And now our youngest feels bad for getting his mother sick after him being so worried and careful about just that :( He was the one wearing masks long after the school abandoned them. At 10 years old, seeing your mother in an almost catatonic state, trouble breathing while coughing. Old enough to put 'me sick, she sick' together, not good. And we got to hear this from his friend's mom, as he confided this to his friend in text chat. Makes me sad, he doesn't even want to talk to us about his fears :(
I'm kinda angry at his uncle as well. Go fly to paradise, come tell us about all the great sights and food, and now his sister, my wife is near death...
