Think about this....The Vietnam War which (technically) lasted for about 20 years (1955-1975), although it was ramped up....starting in early 1965, and ended in 1975.
The accepted total number of U.S. soldier death's from that war, is a little over 58,000 all said and done, although there might be a few more.
As of this week, total death's in this country, due to COVID-19 is rapidly approaching 50,000 DEAD... FELLOW U.S. CITIZENS.... 50 THOUSAND In less than 3 month's....and the number keep growing everyday...just think about it, and let it sink in.
