1 in 500 Americans are now dead of Covid

I think that's the confirmed number, the real number is surely higher. Perhaps higher still if the number of people who died of non-covid reasons they would have survived if not for the pandemic (e.g. suicide, overdose, anything that they were scared to go to the hospital over) is greater than the number of people who didn't die of non-covid reasons (e.g. car crashes, flu, asthma).

Well, shit. I don't even know what to do with this information.

I know. Judging from my responses to people here, I'm dealing with it via sarcasm, which is pretty typical.
