In the next couple of weeks, the coronavirus will have killed more Americans than died in World War I. It has already killed 40,000 more Americans than died in the Vietnam War -- and has proven to be 33 times more deadly than the 9/11 attacks.

And no, this virus is not primarily killing people who are already at death's door. Sadly, say researchers, people with COVID-19 are dying 10 years earlier than they otherwise would.

Many Americans -- even as they struggle to fully understand the enormity of COVID-19's impact on their health and financial future -- inherently know they are in the midst of something different, historic. Something horrible that has seeped its way into every corner of their lives. And they are right.Sgt. Simon Zamudio of the U.S. Army Reserve is seen in this undated photo.It has already altered so many things about how we live. How we work. How we play. How we shop. Even how we grieve.

Listen closely. Can you hear that eulogy that is coming to a close? Imagine seeing those 10 family members having to stand more than six feet apart if they are not from the same household. Unable to embrace. Unable to have their communities grieve with them, to comfort them. One can imagine, tears flowing, as a family somehow tries to remember happier times and not dwell on the fact that they could not even visit their loved ones in the final days and hours.

100,000 starts with a 1.

Even before few days they couldn't imagine their destiny

freedom America,gunshot everyday。

Seriously? So where’s the outrage that all the rioters and looters are not staying home, distancing, and wearing masks

What about the US military on their foreign ventures?

When wil the media step up and blame the communist Chinese regime? Today’s media industry is a national disgrace. Left wing scumbags who even praise and give cover to ANTIFA & BLM terrorists who are destroying our cities. VoteGOP in every state and for every seat 🇺🇸

CHINA

Iraq war bombing deaths?

Nope.

Thanks to all the libtards rioting, you are going to see a huge spike.

Better check an abortion clinic before you go spring if sensational headlines like that. CorruptMedia FakeNews liars

I have no idea what the implications of this are... if that means that one never fully heals, or something entirely different...

Deaths from all causes in the same time period is about 1 million this year.

Uh the deaths are overcounted. Stop the fearmongering.

this is nothing but lies only 25,000 died and the others died from pre existing conditions not the virus, Having hospitals listing every one dying from the virus has cured cancer and heart disease

Didn't y'all get the memo? We're doing white cop kills black man now

Than died sounds like bad grammar. Is it just me...

Thank u China

Bad headline. Apples to oranges.

but how many non americans died? Does that not matter? Trying to desperatly to promote your propaganda by any means necessary.. These news stories are pathetic LOL

Well its a good thing 9/11 was all set up by our government👍

Good thing we shut down travel from China when we did . Can you imagine how much worse it could’ve been worse even though all the liberals were against doing it

How does it rate vs other viruses?

Not certain about the numbers.

Now do the US 2017 and 2018 flu season...80,000 people died that year. Did see you weeping for them or wearing masks. Tell us again about the uncleaned provisional data that every state and the CDC IS REPORTING to perpetuate this fear mongering.

Thats sad to hear however you cannot compare the situations. If necessary precautions were taken early we would not have lost so many lives.

Agreed, China is worse than any of our past rivals. We must take strong action now, before it’s too late.

Liars. A “corona” virus death could be someone with no virus symptoms dies from a car crash but since they tested positive their death is classified as a corona death. Stop

Now compare it to the other past pandemics in the last 20 years.

How many have been killed by abortion

Lmao when all else fails and people stop panicking, throw in a 9/11 reference.

And still American media is licking boots of CCP.

this is trumps fault somehow 😤

Never mind,let’s keep focusing on his Twittera account drama

Then do heart disease.

Trump supporters: “iT haS A 99% sUrVivaL RaTE!” “It’S nO WoRSE tHAn ThR FLu!” Must be awesome in their self absorbed bubble.

250k people have already die from heart disease this year, so what's your point?

Why use 9-11 deaths as a benchmark for virus deaths? Only incites panic.

Thanks China

Now do cancer.

So?

bUt itS A hOAx?

Leftist media lies and slant. MediaLies YellowJournalism Shame

And yet I don’t know anyone that has had it hmmmm

And 3 times that number have recovered and that number is growing each day! Stop focusing on things that drive fear and focus on some good for once! stopthefear

'33 times more deadly than the 9/11 attacks.' there it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yet no one is up in arms at China for not letting the world know about what was going on.

Now do automobiles, soda, fast food, alcohol & smoking. Your news organization doesn’t compare those to past wars. Do you have an agenda with the virus figures?

All those Democrat governor's should not have ordered patients with Coronavirus to nursing homes. Coumo's incompetence in mind boggling.

Jeezus, keep up the good work guys

Also why stand up for protesters in other countries but not for the protesters in your own country 🤷‍♂️

tRump is not happy with 100,000 Americans that are already dead that he has ordered the national guard into Minneapolis to murder more🤦‍♂️ 25thAmendmentNow

Gawd the minimizations and deflections on this thread when talking about the deaths of Americans...it’s just gross.

Yet, the media was saying that closing down borders or halting foreign travel would be racist and xenophobic. Maybe now would be a good time to revisit clips of Nancy Pelosi and Bill de Blasio telling people to go out in public, likely helping spread the China virus around?

Sad God bless all who died China 🇨🇳 could have contained it Data Denied specialists from coming into Wuhan Threw three of our news papers,? What are they hiding? Full compensations

was the entire country a potential victim of the vietnam war?

Sure, and a Kentucky gun range’s night shoot was a Syrian fire fight due to Trump pulling out American forces. Shut up FakeNewsABC.

LeslieMarshall Thank China!

Dorothy23897725 But still less than the yearly flu.

You could say this every year about the flu.

What about worldwide ABC? How many dead, infected, unemployed, starving from COVID19? Who cause that DEVESTATION to 186 countries? You believe in “Global Warming” right? What about “Global Pandemic”? 🤔🤔🤔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 CNN FoxNews

LeslieMarshall A large part because of mishandling of nursing homes.

Trump:you are fake news.

ejones962 Why can't you see why Covid 19 blood pressure tablets obesity diabetics is killing thousands China inflicted the USA and the World's elderly population with a devil biological weapon

How do the gun shot deaths factor into this?

This is so stupid. God the media is despicable.

WTF are you on about? 9/11 was fabricated and stop reporting s!+

LeslieMarshall But, but Benghazi! IncompetentTrump

And the flu has killed more than that each year. Did we stop the 🌎 for the flu? Plandemic/dempanic

True, but America also social distanced from the world for most of WWII, so

SO take off of those who died from complications, died of OTHER prior known issues that happened to get virus while dealing with other life threatening issues, those who died but never had a test so they just guessed that it was virus,etc. 's are overinflated & you know it!

steeletalk How many died from the flu last year?

lets run and hide under a rock. people in america have become soft what are you so scared of death or god? cumo the homo killed more in nurseing homes

But it wasn’t war... So now do cancer, flu, car crashes, heart disease, sepsis....

Sloppy misleading language. 100k people had or were suspected to have had the virus when they died. That’s the official counting logic. If you think that’s the same thing as how many people the virus killed, then you should not be in the business of using words.

And The Democratic Party is Kissing China’s Ass

I wonder if Trump will use this as one of his achievements in making America Great.

Tune in tomorrow when condemns China for letting it get out.

300,000 to go for WW2. We can do it.

The flu season also started a lot earlier this season and quite a few didn't take their flu shots either.

“CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.” So yeah...there’s that.🙄

Now do the flu! Compare the flu to war too! I dare you!

Listen to all the bots and deniers lmao 😷😷😷

Woo hoo we’re winning

And on top of that add all the black live cops are killing smh

Can’t you say the same for the flu 🤧.

Couldn’t we just list the number of lives lost during 9/11 instead of saying “33 times more”?

Just a reminder...

Now do communism

ANYONE still wondering how effectively Trump would handle a crisis...

43 percent of deaths were in nursing homes.i hope they didn't purposely put covid patients in nursing homes to spread it to elderly people to cause more deaths to get those numbers up

TrumPandemic is no flu. Ask the families of survivors if this is a hoax before spreading conspiracy theories.

Well bush did 9/11. We know government is deadly. They are the all time leader in mass deaths.

How stupid to compare a virus to a war. Unless it is accepted that this was a biological attack with all its parts.

And if one was to look at the global turmoil it’s creating with China’s CCP etc it may well have a butterfly effect that sees the death toll with a number far greater then that of the virus itself

I in no way disrespect those lives lost but to compare to war in my opinion is un called for. Every year we lose more to auto accidents, the flu, cancer, heart disease Going to war has no comparison. I could site many reasons for the no comparison statement

Relaxing covid restrictions while there is no cure is going to bring us to 200,000.

So in other words. China killed 100k Americans. Now that’s The actual news

Feed the fear! Compare it to the suicides this year. Compare it to the flu. This is apples to oranges!

Now list everything that’s more deadly than covid

Fear porn. Propaganda. Wake up sheeple.

That puts this killer virus into perspective

你們是不是要感激你們的天才總統唐納猪吖 美國人你們真偉大 白白死了10萬名美國民眾 也可以當沒回事 在下真的非常佩服你們的智慧 和忍耐力 果然 名不虛傳 猪一樣的隊友🤣🤣🤣高人 高人 好嘢 好嘢 欽佩 欽佩…我為你們的總統 所作所為 感到驕傲 現在的美國只能靠上帝保佑🙏 阿門

Oh for fcks sake. More people die from Suicide every year but that doesn’t fit your agenda of getting Biden elected.

Wow. Yet we kill 600k babies every year and call it a choice. If you want to put numbers in perspective, then put them in perspective.

People get the point already. The harder you try to scare people, the less effective the message becomes.

hahahahaha....good one!

For the love of God please stop comparing This pandemic to American soldiers dying in battle for this country it’s totally different and quite sickening

How many babies have been murdered during this outbreak? Why don't their lives matter?

FakeNews

The generation that has been slaughtered due to governors forcing COVID19 positive patients to return back to the nursing homes is also the same generation that the govt sent to Vietnam to be slaughtered in a made up war

Divide that in half, and you may have the correct amount.

As the numbers continue to rise, we can never forget that there are real people, each with their own lives, stories, families, and friends behind every statistic. My heart is with all those who have lost someone to COVID19, are fighting the virus, or know someone who is.

Nonsense! Comparing War casualties with disease victims. What is the point you want to achieve?

Is this a celebration of some sort?

The fact that Trump sent 47 tweets & retweets Wednesday and NOT a SINGLE ONE of them acknowledged the 100,000 Americans LOST to the coronavirus tells you pretty much everything you need to know about him. Trump is a FAILURE as a President, and he is a FAILURE as a human being.

Now do diabetes and cancer. You should be more worried about the chemicals in your food like high fructose corn syrup than the Corona virus. Go have another soda.

Thank's to Trump !!! here he is saying it himsef... 'As President, ALL responsability becomes yours'

Has Americans questioned their president back then about their involvement in Vietnam war?

Oh really? 100,000 you say? Why does the CDC say (as of May 27) 77,000 deaths? Interesting...do us all a favor, stop inflating the deaths, stop spreading lies and misinformation, and stop spreading fear. And anyone who reads this, dont be a sheep...do the research yourself.

In 1918 in the United States alone, 195,000 Americans died from the Spanish flu in just the month of October

The democratic governors should not have put sick people in the nursing homes.

Most of whom would have died of other serious underlying conditions anyway.

How many people die from the flu or pneumonia every year? Congress should subpoena Judy Mikovits to address her allegations.

You cannot compare the Covid-19 to being killed in war. There is no comparison other than a scare tactic. Keep it up and this country will be totally destroyed thanks to the media and the democrats.

Very sad story but being handled very well by USA! USA has 330 Million people and any number of deaths is sad! As a Senior we make up 50 percent of deaths and we can’t fight virus as well as younger folk! USA is a huge country and certainly are to be congratulated !

They are putting covid down as cause of death even if they died of other causes! The numbers are scewed.

What a nonsensical comparison. That’s like saying “It’s January 12th and it’s 42 degrees warmer in the Cayman Islands than it is in New York”

I’m not so sure about this. Where are you getting your information?
