Actually, you're still the dumbass. But I was wrong on the numbers and I'll admit to that (as were you). But that still shows how devastating this pandemic is. https://www.militaryfactory.com/american_war_deaths.php
So the civil war had around 625,000-750k losses (and let's be real, a good number of those lives lost weren't Americans, they were the traitors). Wouldn't you say that's a big number? Wouldn't you say the 406k (rounding up) WW2 casualties were a big number? These casualty numbers were both over a span of 4 years, bud. So Covid-19 has killed Almost the same as the Civil War total (or more depending on the total used) at roughly 653,405 deaths, thus far...in a year and some change. So, while my numbers were wrong, they were anything but sensationalist. Because let's not forget, buddy, THE PANDEMIC ISNT OVER YET. So don't try to downplay the lives lost of covid but try to make WW2 and the civil war look like some huge numbers. They are all equally as bad and yet one of them did it 3 years quicker.
EDIT: Again, I admit my first comparative statement was wrong, but I'd hardly call it sensationalist.
