More people died of COVID in the past week than died in the attacks of 9/11 and Pearl Harbor combined.

And just think — 9/11 led to the creation of an entirely new branch of the government (the controversial Department of Homeland Security) with it’s ~$50 billion/year budget. The attacks on 9/11 led to two wars, which brought about hundreds of thousands of deaths while costing over $6 trillion.

With that context, it’s even more frustrating that Senator McConnell is blocking adequate funding for COVID aid to states, municipalities, small businesses, and individuals across the country.
