Because they aren’t fat diabetic slobs that suck the government teat for a living.

They got Covid, they just treated like any other virus and went on with their lives. Some people died most didn’t, that’s how we’ve done it since beginning of man, until 2020. And a virus became political

#1 Their diets aren't complete shite based on processed foods and factory farmed livestock.

#2 They don't work in cubicles reporting to incompetent middle managers with woke HR depts.

#3 They get sunlight

#4 They aren't on prescription drugs because of #1-3.

#5 They did have some elderly die at the beginning, but now have herd immunity.

Because they don't get any vaccines. Their natural immunity is in Hulk mode.

Covid is definitely the weakest plague I've ever seen.

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.

Even Ezekiel thinks mask mandates are wrong.

They are being affected.

quote:

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.

So they went on with their lives and their death rates are on par with the rest of the nation that had to basically “shut down” So pretty much what so many people over the last year had been saying, these shutdowns and masks are worthless and dumb

As mentioned in this thread, they have a much healthier population than the rest of the country. Not to mention most of the country, except for a brief period in March 2020, didn't lock down or wear masks or social distance.

They aren't obese and they don't watch cable news

Covid doesn't stand a chance against that

Kinda curious to see more of that upper right corner of the pic. The turd floating in the pool in the middle of that pic makes it hard to notice it but she has potential possibly.

Most blue states have had mask mandates for 18 months with a few weeks break in July-August 2021. Many blue states were locked down from March 2020 until spring 2021 when the vaccine was rolled out to the masses.

I'm far from a supporter of any of the things that have went on in this whole stupid fcking covid fiasco, but the overuse and misunderstanding of the phrase "locked down" just bothers me for some reason.

Because they think it is and treat it like a cold as most very healthy people would.
