I totally agree with you. As of yesterday Covid -19 had been the leading cause of death every day since April 7.
This death rate has been occurring in spite of the major social isolation efforts. Can you imagine the number if we had been less aggressive in this regards. Death statistics regarding it always trail statistics of those who have caught it, since obviously, deaths occur a couple of weeks after being infected.
Most projections only go through the first wave which is anticipated to end in August. Without a vaccine and continued social isolation efforts there is expected to be a second wave sometime in the fall. No one knows what the final outcome will be.
No one is happy about the statistics which cause deaths due for other reasons, but that shouldn’t be a reason to diminish what’s is going on now, particularly here in The Villages with the oldest demographic in the U.S.
