@jalefkowit Damn, I'm not sure why this one hits me hard.

I guess because this is a lower death rate than earlier in the pandemic, but it still surpasses the casualty rates for a war that had mass movements protesting to end the death and killing, and our entire culture at the time was defined by it. We don't have the same scale of art and media against covid, not to mention the lack of organizing.

The Vietnam War was a defining event in my father's life. I guess COVID-19 will be one for me.
