Idk why I keep checking the covid death toll on the CDC website. I know that 200,000 deaths will be reached soon, and nothing will happen. It will make absolutely no difference, and yet I keep checking. Can anyone make sense of this?

it's past 203K confirmed cases now and the actual total deaths are probably creeping close to 300K

    Yeah, I don't know why the Worldometer and CDC numbers don't match. I've been using the CDC numbers instead, pretty arbitrarily. But then the question remains, why do I feel like I need to keep checking for when that first 1 rolls over to a 2? Nothing will change, we'll go on as we've been doing as people keep on dying, but for some reason I feel like I need to see it?
