U.S. COVID deaths equivalent to 9/11 attack every day for 336 days: report

LOS ANGELES, May 17 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. death toll from COVID-19 has hit 1 million less than 3 years into the pandemic, and the number is equivalent to a 9/11 attack every day for 336 days, said a report of PBS on Monday.

The confirmed number of dead is roughly equal to how many Americans died in the Civil War and World War II combined. It is as if Boston and Pittsburgh were wiped out, said the report.
