The COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. has reached 675,000, approximately the same number of Americans who died from the Spanish flu epidemic from 1918-19, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

"Big pockets of American society—and, worse, their leaders—have thrown this away," medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan said of the opportunity to vaccinate everyone eligible by now. Under that optimistic scenario, schoolchildren would get mild illness that trains their immune systems. As they grow up, the children would carry the immune response memory, so that when they are old and vulnerable, the coronavirus would be no more dangerous than cold viruses.

U.S. Covid-19 Death Toll Surpasses 1918 Flu FatalitiesThe coronavirus has killed 675,000 people nationwide as the Delta variant and low vaccination rates in parts of the country push cases and fatalities to levels far above those seen last summer, before shots were available. Remember when wsj was a respected news source? It’s gone the route of every other MSM news outlet. They need to show some journalistic integrity for once and reveal the actual numbers…not the coordinated/inflated numbers for political reasons Terrible for sure, but for context the number of deaths should be adjusted for population size.

The US death toll from Covid-19 just surpassed that of the 1918 flu pandemicThe Covid-19 pandemic has now killed more Americans than the 1918 flu pandemic did. More than 675,000 people in the US have died from Covid-19, according to Johns Hopkins University. 210 million more people in US than in 1918. So it’s a win! Ask Dr Tony Fauci why. Well duh… otherwise they would’ve just released more influenza on us instead of this thing called SARS COV 2. 🤦🏻‍♂️ The more people I find who are most scared are the ones who got vaccinated. Forget about diet and exercise though 😒
