"According to data from the Department of Veteran's Affairs, approximately 405,000 Americans died in the Second World War while 36,000 lost their lives in the Korean War. The Vietnam War resulted in another 58,000 deaths with the collective toll of all three conflicts coming in at around half a million. As of February 23, 2021, the Johns Hopkins University lists 500,310 Americans as having died from Covid-19. If a minute of silence was held for every death during the pandemic, it would take nearly a year - 347 days - to honor all the people the U.S. has lost." https://www.statista.com/chart/amp/24252/us-covid-19-deaths-compared-to-deaths-in-major-wars/ https://www.statista.com/chart/amp/24252/us-covid-19-deaths-...
