From Our favorite Earth-Bound Misfit:
That’s been the COVID-19 death toll in this country, so far. That’s more than the American combat deaths in World Wars I and II. That’s more than killing everyone in Winston-Salem, NC twice over. That;s about the toll if everyone in Ft. Lauderdale, FL; Newport News, VA; and Pasadena, CA all died. As the BBC observed, if there was a minute a silence for every individual who perished in this pandemic, it would take into 2022 before everyone who has died so far was honored.
It didn’t have to be this way.
