I was thinking about the approximately 2450 deaths we had yesterday from Covid19.

And the deaths will just go on & on for the time being. . .

Having 2400 or so deaths in one day is the rough equivalent of having 8 jumbo jets crash and kill everyone on board. . .
Just imagine the national outrage if that happened. . .
