How do we put that number in perspective?
Here in The Valley, one small part of Texas, we're losing 40 people a day, that didn't otherwise need to die now. 40 people. That's the equivalent of a very bad mass shooting. Every day. For weeks and months. Right here, in this little community around us. I submit that our response would be completely different if these deaths were from mass shootings every day, yet the number of people is the same, regardless the cause. And either way, it didn't need to happen.
Our current national death toll from Coronavirus of over 1,000 people a day, every day, is the equivalent of a September 11th attack every three days.
