The number of people in the US killed by the coronavirus surpassed 150,000 on Wednesday, according to new data.

Americans account for nearly a quarter of the more-than 660,000 people killed by the virus worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Brazil has the second-highest number of coronavirus deaths — around 88,500 — followed by the United Kingdom, which has almost 46,000 fatalities.

The US nationwide death toll is more than three times the number of Americans killed in World War I.

Rat governors and mayors are licking their chops to lock us down again. The US nationwide death toll is more than three times the number of Americans killed in World War I? Is that true?

You Can NOT Count the 50,000 plus killed by the reckless disregard for human life and depraved indifference of some Governors and Mayors.

Just wait until we hit swine flu numbers, then we will be real big trouble.

150K is based on very spurious numbers to say the least.

It will likely be above 200,000 when the election rolls around. Going to be a challenge.

Rush Limbaugh cited a poll today that shows most Americans think COVID has killed 9% of our population.

That’s 30 million. Somebody needs to start blowing-up the numbers lies, and soon.

This is too often quoted pure BS. Anyone who has seen the crowded and squalid slum conditions that most Latin Americans and ME/Africans live in know that social distancing doesnt exits and diseases spread like wildfire. I refuse to believe that we are the leading nation in deaths. Other nations dont test, and we are oversampling/double and triple counting. And its just a Flu.

In WWI we lost 53,402 to combat. 116,516 to all cause combined.

Oh, and the only reason our numbers are so low in WWI, is due to our late arrival. Go look at the numbers for France, Russia, or Germany.

Heck, France lost 27k killed in the first day of the Battle of the Frontiers!

And if 200K is a problem on Election Day nobody is going to want to hear him saying “But I did everything Fauci told me to”.

If THAT is the strategy being employed here it SUCKS!

And all of the folks that died of suicide, were murdered, died in auto accidents and died of natural causes were probably listed as dying from Covid-19.

But less than 1/4th the number of people who died of heart attacks last year. If only we could have prevented that.

Died of it and died WITH it are two different issues. Cut it in half for the lying and reduce it by 10% for misdiagnosed cases.
