Why the need to compare the # of COVID-19 deaths to Pearl Harbor or 9/11 (as some in the media are doing)?
Seems like an unnecessary comparison when you consider deaths from the seasonal flu this year... 29,000 to 59,000 Americans since October according to the CDC... are also more than the Pearl Harbor and 9/11 death counts.
