Last week, I tweeted a thread about how the #coronavirus death toll is equivalent of that of cities of significant size. Here's another example. Just today, the #coronavirus death toll has surpassed the ENTIRE populations of College Station, TX, Evansville, IN, and Lansing, MI.
College Station, TX (pop. 117,911) is the home of @TAMU, Evansville, IN (pop. 117,979) is home to 4 NYSE and 3 NASDAQ companies, and Lansing (pop. 118,210) is the state capital of Michigan, one of the states hardest hit by the #coronavirus. The #coronavirus death toll is 118,282.
In fact, the U.S. #coronavirus death toll has, as of tonight, surpassed the populations of 78 different cities that have a population of at least 100,000 people. That's nearly one-quarter of all the American cities that have a population of over 100,000.
I am putting out a BIG THREAD on this very soon. I've been trying to, in my own way, put just how destructive the #coronavirus has been into proper perspective. Showing how the death toll had passed every Super Bowl and World Series attendance figures is one thing, ...
... but showing how the death toll has passed the population for ENTIRE CITIES just drives this into another dimension, as far as I'm concerned. And again, these aren't small cities, because every city that will be listed in this upcoming thread has a population of OVER 100,000.
