I thought this might be interesting

Updated January 29, 2021

I thought this might be an interesting comparison with the CURRENT Covid19 pandemic.

The war deaths figures below are taken from Wikipedia and the CURRENT Covid-19 figures are taken from the John Hopkins University statistics (as at January 29, 2021).

So far in 120 YEARS of warfare the US has suffered 627, 549 deaths.

So far, in just 13 MONTHS since January 1, 2020, the US has suffered 433, 213 Covid-19 deaths.

 Wars – since 1900 - ranked by total number of U.S. military deaths.
