COVID-19 Deaths by the numbers

101,000 people have died of COVID-19 since February 29th in the United States.

It's been 92 days since that first death.

1097 people, on average, have died every day of this pandemic in the United States.

46 people have died every hour of this pandemic in the United States since February 29th.

1 person has died every 1.2 mins of this pandemic in the United States February 29th.

So the seriously question is this: why isnt a person dying every 72 seconds enough death to take this seriously?
