Time to reflect
From the National Geographic:
How do you process a number as staggering as 500,000 COVID-19 deaths in the United States?
The number is 25 percent more than the U.S. military death toll in World War II. It would be like imagining every person in a city the size of Atlanta had been lost. Or every postal service worker. This unimaginable number, 500,000, translates into 645 miles of caskets spread end to end or a hundred times more than all the stars visible to the naked eye, according to National Geographic’s visual journalists, who have tried to capture the magnitude of this grim milestone.
May the Lord take mercy on all those souls and bring his healing grace to their loved ones struggling to wrap their arms around this tragedy.
