    Saw this the other day, and updated it with yesterday's totals:

    Deadliest days in American history:

    1. Galveston Hurricane - 8,000
    2. Antietam - 3,600
    Yesterday 3,100
    3. 9/11 - 2,977
    4. Last Thursday - 2,861
    5. Last Wednesday - 2,762
    6. Last Tuesday - 2.461
    7. Last Friday - 2,439
    8. Pearl Harbor - 2,403

    This is missing some days from the 1918 pandemic and maybe a day from the 3 day battle of Gettysburg.
    Either way, some sobering statistics.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    That stat is a bit zany as a lot more than 2,977 died on 9/11. A lot more than 3,100 died yesterday, too.

    Yup, when in doubt, just blame Trump.

    Deaths better go to 0 on inauguration day!

    Very interesting since 2.8M + people die in the US every year. Which means the daily average is roughly 8,000, but hey don't let simple things like math get in the way of fear porn.

    Let's keep this a Clay Travis slang free zone please. No one has been more wrong about COVID-19 than that guy.

    I know right? Just think how many more would have died if he hadn't looked into injecting disinfectant directly into the body. Where's his Nobel Piece Prize for Science?

    Guess I assumed people would know those were single event causes for a day, like Pearl Harbor.
    My bad.

    I don’t care about HIS feelings, but that was embarrassing for our country when he asked if that would work at a press conference in front of people and cameras. I can’t imagine how the “science people” kept a straight face.
