April of last year I wrote a post about the numbers of deaths from Covid-19 that we, as a country, would consider acceptable:

I missed my mark a tad bit. I may have upset a few people back then, but I don’t care. They should really be upset now. One in every 500 Americans have now died from this dreadful virus, and we’re still losing 1,000 a day. That’s upsetting.

Good night, Mrs. Jackson, wherever you are.
