Do we have stats on how many of them were affected? A link or something?
I tend to believe this and agree with what the responses have been so far, but the Amish are whack jobs in general.

They are being affected.

Assessing "excess death" in closed religious communities provides information on how COVID-19 impacted these communities. We use obituary information published in an Amish/Mennonite newspaper to examine excess death among the Amish/Mennonites in 2020. Our results indicate the Amish/Mennonite excess death rates are similar to the national trends in the USA. The excess death rate for Amish/Mennonites spiked with a 125% increase in November 2020.
