Today the US will pass 150,000 dead from the coronavirus (per Worldometer's tally)

[SoonerPride]

The first death was retroactively attributed to a death in California February 6th.

So in just 6 months this "it's just the flu" "hoax" that trump, trumpists, and Fox News downplayed, ignored, and gaslighted the public into thinking it was never a threat and is already over, will have killed one hundred and fifty thousand Americans.

One hundred
Fifty
THOUSAND.

And it still just the first wave.

History will never understand how we let this maniac do this to our country.

I am living through it and I don't understand it either.

1. Oddly, the world-o-meter has slowed down the count in the last few days.

I'm beginning to doubt their count now.

2. Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

By August 1945, the Allies' Manhattan Project had produced two types of atomic bombs, and the 509th Composite Group of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) was equipped with the specialized Silverplate version of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress that could deliver them from Tinian in the Mariana Islands. The Allies issued orders for atomic bombs to be used on four Japanese cities on July 25. On August 6, one of the modified B-29s dropped a uranium gun-type bomb ("Little Boy" ) on Hiroshima. Another B-29 dropped a plutonium implosion bomb ("Fat Man" ) on Nagasaki three days later. The bombs immediately devastated their targets
Over the next two to four months, the acute effects of the atomic bombings killed between 90,000 and 146,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000 and 80,000 people in Nagasaki; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day.
