The people have grown used to the high numbers and are growing bored with the whole virus thingy. We shall put our heads in the sand and ignore anything that doesn't affect us personally. Hey, it's Summertime; time to party! Come the Fall, we need to fill the schools and football stadiums. Go team!
Once we cleared that 100,000 hurtle, other milestones will just be routine. When we hit 200,000 it won't be big news......
It is all the result of a short attention span society.

I saw the Atlanta police chief bravely being screamed at by protesters, and she wasn't wearing a mask.
So many of these rioters, protesters seem to be wearing their masks on their chins. Is that the cool way to wear them now?
I assume many of these young folks live at home with older people. They will bring the virus home to those they supposedly love. The whole thing beggars belief to me.

(13,079 posts)People in our cities are sick, out of work, out of money, and out of patience with a system that has been grinding them down relentlessly for 40 years for the benefit of a handful of billionaires.
The murder of Mr Floyd was the proverbial straw.
