The third million have come even faster, in barely five months, as large segments of countries, rich and poor alike, remain unvaccinated and a wily new variant has proved able to infect even those who are. Case counts, though imperfect, have been a key barometer throughout the pandemic, a bench mark not only for governments implementing mitigation measures but also for people trying to discern the threat in their own communities.
