The Death Toll.
« on: Sun, 05 July 2020, 08:11:02 »
How do you guys personally visualize the numbers ?


They like to compare to ww1/ww2 casualties, but I don't think people really get the scale.

We're at about 130,000 United States deaths +/-  30,000.

Soooo.... That's like ~ 3,333 entire football teams. <3thousand, 3hundred, thirty3>

it's quite alot of people. there are only 32 NFL teams, ~45 players each, so, imagine 100x entire NFL (all teams), all dead.


These are only the semi-official numbers, we're not even getting into undercounting, and potential coverup-manipulation.

130K people is well above the population of an average county in the US.
"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.
