More people have died In the US from COVID 19 than the number of troops sent on D-Day

Just as a comparison, Eisenhower sent 133,000 troops to the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. They were American, British and Canadian troops. By the end of July we will have 150,000 dead from Coronavirus in the United States.
