Another good thing about masks. I often get some acne after shooting at the local indoor range. None this season !

supposedly more Americans died of it yesterday than our soldiers on D-Day in Normandy. (D-Day losses can be all but exact, but are we still counting horrendous car crashes wherein the deceased test positive ?) Sarcasm intended.

supposedly more Americans died of it yesterday than our soldiers on D-Day in Normandy.

that was WW2 - however that's not entirely true - they picked which statistic they wanted to use:

*How many American soldiers were killed during World War 2?
Deaths in World War II

In total, over 405,000 Americans gave their lives in the conflict. The military breaks out figures by state for the Army, which was the branch that contributed the most lives to the effort, by far. Nearly 235,000 soldiers were killed in battle during the war, with over 300,000 dying in total.Aug 14, 2017*

Yes.
235,000 died directly in combat but the full total was 405,000 altogether.

Still.
A very sad statistic overall.

No, the comparitive statistic was correct if indeed we believe the 3K of china virus deaths yesterday. Less than 3000 [U]Americans [/U]died on the beaches of [U]Normandy[/U] [U]on[/U] [U]D-Day (Utah and Omaha[/U].) "Saving Private Ryan" makes some think that tens of thousands died at Omaha Beach alone. Where I erred was in not counting the paratrooper deaths in the southern part of Normandy province. My statement has nothing to do with the total casualties during the entire war.

Here is where I heard it: One-day US deaths top 3,000, more than D-Day or 9/11

gotcha - the reason I replied the way I did is yesterday I had read a story claiming more deaths then the number of US forces that died as a result of WW2 which is you count them all - it not correct

It is however nothing to make light of.

290K (allegedly) from the china virus. we are getting to that war total... OTOH how many would have died from co-morbidities next month or next year without the chinese getting us this way ? The media and governments can spin this anyway they want but SARS, Avian Flu and this all seem to have a certain origin point. Sun Tsu would be so proud.

Im going to say not many would have died. Just because they have a comorbidity does not mean they will die next month or year. Many comorbidities are manageable.

comorbidity

had to look that oneup

fortunately, if you had to look that one up, you ain't got one...
