Forget the number of deaths that happened because of the 9/11 attacks divided into the total number of deaths in the US as a comparison to give the populace a relative idea of the number of deaths from COVID-19. Now we have to start making the comparison between the number of US troops killed during the Vietnam war which was around 60,000 divided into the US total of COVID-19 deaths. At this point we now have about 4 1/2 Vietnam Wars worth of deaths due to COVID-19.
