100 deaths: United States reaches catastrophic number due to Covid-19.
Governed by a denier like Brazil, the United States continues its parallel genocide in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The country reached the mark of 100 deaths this Wednesday, the 27th, a number equivalent to the sum of deaths in the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
247 The US has reached the grim milestone of 100 deaths from the novel coronavirus, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. This number was reached over a three-month period, resulting in an average of more than 1.100 deaths per day.
The report from the newspaper O Globo It highlights that “it represents more than double what was predicted in mid-April by Donald Trump, who said at the time that the disease would leave around 50 dead in his country. In early May, however, the American president, who initially downplayed the severity of Covid-19, admitted that the death toll could reach 100 — that is, 30% of the more than 353 fatal victims caused by the new coronavirus worldwide.”
The article also states that "the number of 100 is close to the total number of deaths in four major conflicts fought by Americans since the end of World War II: the Vietnam War, the Korean War, the Iraq War, and the Afghan War. In those four, there were 101.667 deaths. It is also very close to the deaths caused by the 1957/58 flu pandemic: 116."
