From Trump and Kushner on the Coronavirus: … Revisionist History

A little background: When the American deaths in Vietnam were going up and up – as counted nightly by Cronkite – I got thrown out of high school for protesting escalation. A lot of us did. We’re still here to tell you that “One dead on your watch is too many, Jarod.” Step down.

At the same time, the reported death toll from the virus in the United States topped 60,000 — more killed in eight weeks than the 58,000 American troops killed in eight years of major combat in Vietnam. The death toll has already reached where it was expected to be in August, more than three months from now, according to projections accepted by the White House. The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation now estimates that 73,000 will die by August.
