I'm sorry for the loss of the 4 people you knew. I know of at least 3, 1 personally who have passed from COVID.
I think if we asked around, everyone on this forum would know someone.
I don't know anyone who has died FROM it or even WITH it. And there IS a difference.
But I know a dozen or so who have had it, including my decidedly better half. She is fully recovered and has no lingering issues despite being 62 with moderate, pre-existing COPD. Only one of the ones we know was hospitalized. She's 74 and is now fine.
I also know about a dozen physicians and health care professionals in my extended family and direct circle of friends. To a person, they agree that the virus is potentially serious for those with co-morbidities but the hysterical, anti-science reaction by the big media and big government establishment has been largely counterproductive.
