Otherwise what's the point in having one. But we are now at 80k among acknowledged US deaths from covid-19. And on track for 100k plus.
I daresay that it could have been worse, if not for the efforts of many of the governors, and those people who were willing to sacrifice their own enjoyment for the sake of the common good (ie the health of everyone).
But 80k dead people is a huge number. Sad milestone.
