The deadliest year in US history was 2020. This is reported by Politico, citing data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
More than three million people died in the United States last year. Coronavirus infection is the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. It is noted that COVID-19 has led to a 15 percent increase in deaths in the United States.
In February, the TMZ portal calculated that the death toll from coronavirus in the United States exceeded the country’s losses in three wars. According to the newspaper, 291 thousand Americans died in World War II, 47.4 thousand soldiers died in Vietnam, and 33.7 thousand American soldiers died in the Korean War.
