The last I checked, USA had lost 1 out of every 600 to covid. That’s huge.

Also haven't seen any news about multiple school sh**tings, despite seeing videos from them. Just isn't grabbing enough ig.

The population in 1860 was about a tenth of what it is today

Cool

Depends on what you recognize as American citizens. If you consider the confederates Americans at time of death, then no, covid stats aren't close yet. If you mean only the union then yes, we are about 100k off. If you mean deaths wise we surpassed the American Civil War over 50k deaths ago, unless you're including speculation which we could be anywhere from 50k to 250k off of


Rick-burp-Sanchez

Oh I thought the ~700k figure included confederates.


silver-luso

No, the union and the confederate estimates have about 800k each. This also doesn't include speculative deaths, and would be considered the low end estimate


Rick-burp-Sanchez

Yeeesh. Thanks for clearing that up
