US total costs of WW2 alone in 2019 dollars = $4.1 trillion.

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.
Ridiculous comparison. Covid is an overblown, media-hyped tempest in a teapot. Unproven statistics, "experts" with opposing views, fear-driven behaviors, little proven science, a genetic-engineered vaccine rushed into production, an actual COVID survival rate of 99.9+%, and an utter abandonment of critical thinking & investigation. I stand by my previous posts 100%.
