The 2020 US Census results are out. So is the most recent number in the death toll.
We have just lost the equivalent of the population of Detroit (America's 27th-largest city now at 639,111 , and it was once fourth), if not Las Vegas (I believe that I mentioned Las Vegas earlier, but at 641,903 it has grown while Detroit has hemorrhaged population and is now America's 26th-largest city). COVID-19 is taking its grim toll of population, and its grim tour of cities as comparisons for population will be appearing next in Portland, Oregon ... (652,503) and then Boston (675,647).
