I don't need to check any official sources to be pretty sure the number of able-bodied working age Americans who died from Covid is (statistically, not in humanitarian terms) negligible. Once word: socialism, for the rich and poor alike, promoted by the US government and the Fed. It's the same in the EU, the only difference is it's worse and it started before Covid-19. Funny but completely expected thing about it is gubmint stats refer to some of those non-working as "discouraged" whereas many are in fact encouraged to be unemployed. It's hard to be discouraged if you're hungry.

>It's the same in the EU, the only difference is it's worse and it started before Covid-19. What? Do you have any sources for those EU claims?

The impacts of these deaths are going to be far reaching though. For example, I had a friend in his 30s who died from Covid during the first wave. His last tweet was about how his manager at T-Mobile was a dick for making him come into work during a global pandemic. Even though he is but one death in a sea of almost a million, he alone serves as a cautionary tale to dozens and dozens of surviving friends, family, and acquaintances. His friends and family have a much different view now of the nature of work in the US. For many of them, this has fundamentally changed their relationship with work, and yeah, some of them quit their jobs and won’t be coming back. Big business are left scratching their heads wondering why. Here’s a hint: check the Twitter feed. There are hundreds of thousands of such cautionary tales out there now, impacting families across the nation. I don’t think we’ll be able to really understand the full impact of this for a long time to come.
