I have lost 3 friends. All over 60. I have probably known 50 or more that were "diagnosed" with it but recovered. A whole family of 5 had it last week - parents around 40 and 3 children ages 14 - 2. But, I live in a smaller city than Houston.

C'mon man... You know 50 people that have had COVID?

I'm sorry. But I don't believe you.

I'm probably pretty close to that, if I think about it hard enough. I don't know anyone who definitively died from it, though. I "know of" one or two, but nobody personally.

Well, I just gave you 8 so I only need to come up with 42 more. I go to a large Church, belong to a large Sunday School class, belong two Bible Study groups and am on email prayer lists from two pretty large Church retreat groups. I can think of another 10 just from my SS class. One of couples DIL had monoclonal antibody infusion because she is pregnant just a week or so ago. I may need to revise that number upward come to think about it. Oops, just thought of another 4 from my immediate and extended family.

I'm pretty sure I could come up with 50 people I know who have had it. I can look out my office door and see 3 people who have had it right now, and I can go out in my warehouse and see 2 more right there. Then, I can pick up the phone and call my Nashville office and speak to 2 more people there who have had it; same in my Birmingham office. That's 9 people, and I've only covered the family business I work for.

ETA: Do you just not know very many people?

Anybody that lives in Louisiana that doesn’t know anyone that has had Covid would be an outlier. College aged kids know a bunch of friends that have had it, older people the same etc.

Just curious as to your age and general vicinity of where you live?
