Single-day death toll passed 500 and its rising.

Top experts predict millions of U.S. cases and death toll to reach past 100,000.

Now imagine how much worse it would have been by now if nobody bothered taking precautions. If there werent any lockdowns or store-closures or canceling of public events.

EDIT: And in one hospital more than a hundred of their workers have gotten sick. Doctors, nurses, techs, assistants, etc.

Population density in major cities will do that. I don't think these numbers surprise anyone.

Considering the lag-time between the United States administration actually knowing about the disease and having an opportunity to learn from healthcare strain from our friends on the other side of the pond, I would considering it unsurprising but highly upsetting.

I'm just frustrated at how they keep saying there are millions of masks and protective equipment sent to the hospitals, but we still get reports of healthcare workers not receiving anything.

Now imagine if we took precaution even a week earlier or had a president or people in charge or regular people that didn't downplay the issue.

I have never been anti-Trump, I'm not a supporter but I've never hated him. That said, this caused the situation to be worse. His followers cling to every word as if they were spoken from God, you can't tell these people lies and then expect them all to do a 180 when shit hits the fan. To this very second there are Trump supporters who believe what he originally said about this virus and that he is now being forced to lie. Misinformation is as bad as government inaction since even when the government takes the right actions, people won't believe it.

All things considered 100000 lives is a lot lower than it could have been, but it's also a lot higher than it could have been. It's sad, like what do you think the percent of those deaths were preventable if they weren't fed lies?

Meanwhile the wealthy are buying up ventilators for their own personal stockpiles
https://nypost.com/2020/03/21/super-rich-people-are-panicking-over-the-coronavirus-ventilator-shortage/

These are the people those right wing hacks are saying are the economy and the rest of us have to work and get sick and proudly die so that these people can continue to live their luxurious lives, "our kids debt" my ass

This is why people who will exclusively stay at home dont need a mask, yet some people hoarded them all even with no plans of going out
