Michigan has reported more than 6.6 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine administered as of Friday, with 48.8% of residents having received at least one dose.

Worldwide, more than 148 million people have been confirmed infected and more than 3.1 million have died. More than 84 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.
