Coronavirus Has Now Killed More Americans Than Vietnam War

Coronavirus Has Now Killed More Americans Than Vietnam War Enlarge this image toggle caption John Nacion/NurPhoto via Getty Images John Nacion/NurPhoto via Getty Images In not even three months since the first known U.S. deaths from COVID-19, more lives have now been lost to the coronavirus pandemic on U.S. soil than the 58,220 Americans who died over nearly two decades in Vietnam. Sponsor Message During 1968, the deadliest year for the U.S. in Vietnam, the death toll of 16,899 occurred at about half the pandemic's rate — 8.5 troops were killed for every 100,000 U.S. residents. The highest daily toll for Americans fighting in the Vietnam War was on Jan. 31, 1968, when 246 U.S. personnel were killed during the Tet Offensive.
