Move this if you think it is political. IMO, it is not. It's just data.

COVID-19 is now the 3rd greatest killer in the U.S., behind Cancer and Heart Disease.  This is not an guesstimate or a projection, it is already a fact.

1. Heart disease: 269,583 deaths
2. Cancer: 252,500 deaths (based on 2019 data)
3. COVID-19 pandemic (current death count):  More than 120,000 and increasing daily
4. Stroke: 60,833 deaths
5. Alzheimer's disease: 50,417 deaths
6. Drug overdoses: 29,265 deaths
7. Suicide: 19,583 deaths

Moreover, COVID-19 is the #2 cause of death historically for epidemics/pandemics.

1. 1918 flu pandemic: 675,000 deaths
2. COVID-19 pandemic: 120,000 deaths and increasing daily
3. 2017-18 flu season: 61,000 deaths
4. 2018-19 flu season: 34,200 deaths
5. 2009 swine flu pandemic: 12,469 deaths

Based on these numbers, it would not be surprising to see the COVID-19 death count to exceed the Cancer death count for 2020 or even the the death **** for heart disease, because as we are seeing right now, it ain't going away.

If anyone says it's just like the flu, yeah, it's like the flu pandemic of 1918. The numbers for that flu pandemic was tallied over 2+ years. With modern science and biomedical research, maybe we can keep the numbers below the 1918 pandemic. Or not, depending on who is making the decisions.
