India’s Virus Cases Top 7 Million; Soon Past US

India’s confirmed coronavirus toll has crossed 7 million with several new cases dipping in recent weeks, even as health experts warn of mask and distancing fatigue setting in.

India is expected to become the pandemics worst-hit country in coming weeks, surpassing the U.S., where more than 7.7 million infections have been reported. Experts say reported numbers understate the impact of the pandemic, due to limited testing, missed cases, and in some instances, concealment by authorities.
