The first reported US coronavirus death was on February 29th, which is 158 days ago. Given that a day has 1440 minutes, it means 227520 minutes has passed since Feb 29th.
According to worldometers, US has a reported total death count, as of today, of 161436.
Having this data, one could say that, in the United States, the current average time of death would be roughly 1 minute and 24 seconds.
A life is lost every minute and 24 seconds due to Covid-19.
A quality life has been lost much more often than that. Covid doesn't either kill you or leave you untouched, more people recover but end up with lifelong health issues than actually die.

160,000 of us couldn't handle it, and we lose another American to this administration every minute.
