The numbers mean nothing to him. The deaths mean nothing to him.
Reported US coronavirus deaths:— Ryan Struyk (@ryanstruyk) April 17, 2020
Right now: 36,721
24 hrs ago: 32,186
48 hrs ago: 27,850
72 hrs ago: 25,163
At this rate, we'll meet the death toll of Vietnam in a few weeks.

“Overall, about a fifth of deaths from the virus in the United States have been tied to nursing homes or other long-term care facilities, the Times review of cases shows. And more than 36,500 residents and employees across the nation have contracted it.” https://t.co/LA8QOqbiq2— Catherine Lucey (@catherine_lucey) April 18, 2020
It's not about the numbers of the dead; it's about the individuals who are dying.
