On June 3 of this year the total number of deaths attributed to the Covid-19 malady amounted to 107,648, about the SRO capacity of "The Big House" in Ann Arbor, Michigan if the Michigan Wolverines were playing the Ohio State Buckeyes during a pandemic-free season.
As of the morning of August 16, the national death toll had exploded to 172,056. Ergo, in the past 74 days 64,408 Yankees have succumbed to the Wuhan flu. If these dead people could sit upright, they would fill to capacity the seats in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Oxford, Mississippi, the home gridiron of the Fighting Rebels of Ole Miss, the 62nd largest stadium in the US.
Everyone that has perished in the US due to the pandemic could be comfortably seated in just two of the many stadiums in the country.
