"On May 28th the death toll in the U.S. from the Coronavirus surpassed 100,000 — all within just the first 100 days of the first death on American soil and well beyond the number of U.S. soldiers to perish throughout the entire Vietnam War. The U.S. accounts for 4.25% of the global population, but more than 25% of Coronavirus-related deaths. The death toll is still rising in the world’s wealthiest nation, with one of the most troubling aspects being the disproportionate virus and death rates among African-American, Latinx and low-income Asian communities."
