This can't possibly be the case. 67,366 adults between the ages of 18 and 49 have died (of COVID) in the US during the entire pandemic. There are 25 million children of primary school age in the US.
Why explains this discrepancy? Social media. Every teacher has seen other teachers mourning the death of parents on social media, and that feels like something that actually happens to you.
But no. It is absolutely not the case that practically all teachers have multiple students who lost parents to COVID. The math is completely off.
