Every time COVID is mentioned I bring up that we (the US) had the equivalent deaths of 9/11 per day for several weeks in summer 2020. Millions of people either fucking forgot or intentionally ignored that and voted for the guy who made it happen two more times.

Its cause those deaths were not visualised with a pile of bodies. It was just a number that's mind boggling, unless you were in relevant field you don't understand.
