As of today, Sars-Cov-2 has killed 0.04% of the US population, over the course of 5 months.

The combat casualties of all Union armies in the civil war stands at 140,000, over the course of four years. Sars-Cov-2 deaths are now at 127,000, and will probably pass 140,000 on or about the 4th of July.
