re: Y’all know anybody who had the virus?

.02% of this nation has died from this

Zero point zero two percent

That is almost statistically zero, yet this one website all know someone it seems

But .02% is extremely far from zero.

There are well over 100k accounts on this site, but let's just say only 10k are reasonably active. Odds are about 2 active posters here have died of covid.

But we're just talking about posters who know someone who had/died of covid. Assuming a decent amount of overlap, we'll just say that each poster knows only 100 other people. Active posters here cumulatively know about a million people. On top of that, we're one of the hardest hit states per capita.
