      And unlike 9/11, it isn’t almost exclusively targeting capitalists, bankers, and financiers.

    Damn that’s crazy. What about hurricanes Katrina and Maria though? Were those not single day counts? Spanish flu daily total?

      The official death toll for Katrina is too low for this list, and as other have pointed out this seems specific to events "on US soil" so obviously Maria is going to get overlooked

      Don't know Spanish flu numbers, but Maria deaths were over several weeks and totaled (right now anyway) 3057. Katrina's death toll is usually cited as 1833.

      Spanish flu

      The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.

      Which probably means full months had deadlier days than this list in the OP

          Yeah, the constant parading of "kill slave owners" as if that's who died in the Civil War is embarrassing and does amount to childish internet larping.

          Any leftist should immediately be able to recognize holders of capital like slaveowners aren't the soldiers fighting their wars. Indoctrinated young men who are told to fight for their confederacy are. A sad war where too many good people died.

      If you read the testimony of the people who were there in thick of it, you’d understand why.

    I think the list is missing a few days like D day and such. There are also ten or so WWII battles with higher death counts but those all took place over multiple days. Just give covid a few weeks tho, it'll fill the top ten maybe even top twenty.

      I checked myself using the Atlantic's COVID tracker. They seem to disagree on the exact numbers, which shifts the order of the days around a little, but the broad strokes appear accurate. Also, yesterday beat out both last Tuesday and last Friday, so this image is already out of date. Here's the list based on that.

      1. Last Wednesday [12/02] - 2,733
      2. Last Thursday [12/03] - 2,706
      3. Yesterday [12/08] - 2,622
      4. Last Friday [12/04] - 2,563
      5. Last Tuesday [12/01] - 2,473
      6. Pearl Harbor - 2,403

      As others have noted, this appears to only include events on US soil. There were 2,501 American fatalities on D-Day, for instance, so were that counted it would come in eighth.
