25,832 deaths in the US from COVID-19 isn't really all that bad, huh?

In a population of 325 million, not really. I remember back in March when the media was saying at least 6 million people would die and that bodies would be piling up in the streets. Currently seems like the biggest threat will be unemployment and continued economic downturn

Ah, you're one of those people that looks at 25,000 dead in ~41 days AFTER shelter-in-place provisions and thinks it's not a big deal. Gotcha.

You do realize there are countries who didn't act in time where the bodies literally are piling up in the streets right?
