It's to the point where I can't process it anymore.. Like, I know it's happening, but mentally it's so much every day that I kind of have to accept it and move forward.
I don't know if anyone else feels like this, but it's a weird state of mind.

You can easily process that 10 is 10 people dead, each with their own lives who can't tell their story anymore. Heck maybe even 100 people. Once you reach the 1,000+ it becomes harder to wrap your mind around and just becomes meaningless numbers, people become statistics.
Yeah.. I guess it must have been like this in big wars, too (like WW2). At a certain point, it all blends together and you just hope that it ends sooner rather than later.

I know it's hard and quite a lot of people die atm, but can you imagine that approx. 9 million people die of hunger each year? A friend of me posted this and I did some googling and the number seems to be correct. Puts things in perpective, I hope poor countries/communities will mostly be spared of covid-19.
Make him as comfortable as you can, and hopefully he passes peacefully!
Reminds me of a quote that Joseph Stalin said: "When one man dies, it's a tragedy. When a thousand men die, it's a statistic."
It's a tragedy on a scale that's really hard to comprehend.
I love watching vizualization videos of people trying to demonstrate these astronomical numbers. Here is a great one of a dude using grains of rice to visualize Jeff Bezos's net worth:
I think my favorite are the scale of you and animals compared to microbes or the scale of the Earth and everything else in the universe, or just our sun compared to other stars. And bombs to other bombs.
I tried to find one of those microbes-to-solar system comparisons first, but couldn't find a good one. I love when they get to the end and then quickly zoom back down to scale. There was also a good one about the most expensive items in the world, including weird chemicals that are like twelve billion dollars per oz, but I couldn't find that one either.
i think it is.
Yo, there's no way a trillion can be that much lol look how little the dude is...
You need 1,000 of the 1 billions to equal a trillion. The pallets are double stacked.
The Number 3 reminds me of the time I took a walk
If it's nice outside, i might shave but yesterday is a dayThis thread took a turn that I did not expect
