Americans dead from the CoVid-19 Pandemic have exceeded the total number of Americans dead in World War II. The total number of Americans killed in World War II from all causes was 405,399. As of this writing 405,418 Americans have died in the pandemic. Early in the pandemic Trump bragged he felt like a wartime president, Now he owns it. He Lost The War. In just 11 months the CoVid pandemic has killed more people in America than those killed in the 45 months of World War II. There are more dead from CoVid than the accumulation of the dead in WWII frombattleship row at Pearl Harbor to the death march of Battaan to the more than 1,500 ships sunk at sea to the B-17s with crews of 10 men shot down by the scores on missions over Europe to the dead of D-Day and from all of the other battles Americans fought and died in across the world. War Time President Trump. It’s been a horrific year and hundreds of thousands are dead who did not have to die other than because Trump was President. I’m sure this was the first time I used President and Trump together and it will be the last time I use those two words together. In terms of mass death events in the U.S. the CoVid-19 pandemic is now in third place behind the estimated 675,000 people who died in the 1918 pandemic and the 655,000 people who died on both sides during the Civil War. As Trump said, “It is what it is.” So much dying.
