U.N. Says 1 Million Coronavirus Deaths Due to Nations' Lack of Preparedness and Solidarity
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the United Nations General Assembly, Secretary-General António
Guterres warned Thursday the coronavirus pandemic has killed nearly a
million people, infected 30 million, and remains out of control due to a
lack of preparedness, cooperation, unity and solidarity among world
governments.

Secretary-General António Guterres: "This pandemic is a wake-up call for
even more catastrophic challenges that may arise, starting with the
climate crisis. If we meet these with the same disunity and disarray we
have seen this year, I fear the worst."
