Did we win the war and recover from that enormous national debt? You betcha.
How? We made the necessary sacrifices and came together with unity as a nation.
We're at war with COVID-19
The total US deaths from COVID-19 = 523,000 to date. That already exceeds WW2.
Will we win the war? Will our national debt be unsurmountable?
Only if we don't make the necessary sacrifices, and come together with unity as a nation.

As reported by the CDC ... Here are the US deaths by year and the change
from the previous year.
Year 2017: 2,818,503 Americans died
Year 2018: 2,839,205 deaths (20,702 more than the previous year 2017)
Year 2019: 2,855,000 deaths (16,300 more than the previous year 2018)
The year of the pandemic ...
Year 2020: 2,913,144 deaths (57,641 more than the previous year 2019)
BUT WAIT: There were zero deaths from Covid-19 during 2018, and 2019
and the jump from 2019 was only 57,641 ???
I've been told that COVID is responsible now for 400,000 + deaths.
Shouldn't the 2020 number be alot higher?
So the question becomes: How many people died of COVID and How many really only
died (of other causes) WITH COVID?
