This is from the New York Times and in my opinion it perfectly epitomizes the seriousness of this virus. Read it this way. We are looking at how many deaths have occurred by region for the period of March 1 to July 25, compared to the same period last year. It represents how many people have died, that likely wouldn’t have died had this Virus not come into existence.
Forget all those arguments about more people in United States die from this or that every year. What this figure symbolizes how many people have died this year that wouldn’t have otherwise, were it not for the prevalence of this virus. We are up to nearly 200,000 people, that’s the size of major U.S. metropolitan area
