- chrisco255 5y agoLet's not repeat fascism. It killed tens of millions of people. Millions more died for liberty, don't take it in vain. We've already returned to pre-2020 levels of excess deaths in the U.S. [1] We have been there for months. Unless Covid mutates into something completely different, it's likely that 2020 was the worst year we'll ever see for it, because it was novel and no one had immunity at the beginning of 2020. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
