Stunning isn’t the word. These flags represent 275,000 more lives than the 400,000 than lie in Arlington National Cemetery.

The last hundred thousand or so were entirely preventable.

Update:

"Despite all the scientific and medical advances of the past 103 years, the Covid-19 pandemic has now killed more Americans than the 1918 flu pandemic did." https://t.co/2xc686JzU1
