so, just like you want to do--let's choose which groups to include in the C19 deaths--ok--let's choose Hawaii--since there are not many....so, C19 is not deadly at all, is it???you are MAJOR Dumb--thank you for proving it2 million died in the Vietnam war---C19 is only up to 50,000And by the time this is over they will be so overshadowed there will be no comparison...it's disrespectful to our Vets
1. the Vietnam deaths were YOUNG, healthy, in their prime, took physicals, did PTraining, ETC!!!!
NO pre-existing problems
..most of the C19 deaths are elderly with pre-existing problems/obesity/etc
DUHHHHHHHH
2. only 2.6 million served in the Vietnam War--half of those did not serve in combat roles and/or in a combat zone
..so you have a 300 million population you are comparing to 1 million
3. many thousands MORE Vets lost their legs/arms/both/etc
4. etc --it's just plain STUPID
Reporter to Trump: Do You ‘Deserve’ Reelection Since More Died from Virus Than in Vietnam?
After some uncertainty about the future of White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings, Monday’s episode went off without a hitch in the Rose Garden and the questions were relatively fair and uncontroversial. That was until New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi was granted the final question and...www.newsbusters.org
Where are you getting those figures? Did you pull them outta your ass?

....the question/issue/subject is, what's more lethal- Vietnam War or C19--comparing Vietnam War vs C19
1.my AIR TIGHT Op explained it
2. it's idiocy to even compare them
3. as others have pointed out, there are other things much more deadly than C19
My Grandpappy taught me an important lesson.................figures never lie, but watch how liars figure. When comparing COVID 19 deaths to Viet Nam, they were counting only the Americans who were military that were killed over there. They weren't including the civilian count like you are trying to.
DUUUUUUHHHH
......you can't compare the Vietnam War deaths with C19 deaths unless you count all Nam deaths
hahahahhWTF!!!!!!!!!!!??????
