vixaliciousMore than 250,000 people have died so far, worldwide.
Almost 70,000 Americans.
Nearly 30,000 each for Italy and the UK.
Spain and France, 25,000 each.
It's unfathomable to me. We hear the numbers, and they're just that - numbers. When I read a story about someone, it's sad, but it just seems like one death. I don't know how you make the emotional connection between one death as a person, and 250,000 deaths.
