What this terribly shitty and inaccurate meme seems to be at least trying to say is deaths from one specific thing. Not total deaths for the day from all sources. Even then it's missing some key things. The 1918 flu pandemic was killing over 6,000 people per day. The deadliest day in the Gettysburg battle is estimated to have claimed over 3,000 lives. And the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 took roughly 3,000 lives.
