No. It means that most of us personally know people who died and kidnapped on that day. It means I was on the phone with a woman and her little girls while terrorist were having a gunfight with her husband within the house... It means everyone knows someone who's still in Gaza. That's the implication of this scale. It's an important metric to understand the severity of the attack and the severity of the reaction. It's also important to understand the reduced empathy from the Israeli side. Look at how crazy the USA was on 9/11. Imagine every single person knew someone personally... Imagine some of them were still missing. It would have been at a different level.
