One little thing that did bring me some peace/clarity with all these death toll numbers being flashed in our faces every day was to look at another massive destruction of human life... world war 2...
Think about this for a second -> world war 2 lasted 6 years... 6 long years from beginning to end and an estimated total of 70-85 million people died in 6 years.
That's 32,000-39,000 people dead on average EVERY SINGLE DAY for SIX YEARS.
This virus, horrible as it is, isn't even making a dent in comparison.

spanish flu killed more than ww1 casualties
ww2 was like 70-80 years ago...in most people's living memory esp in the developed world this is likely the worst disaster
