Count yourself lucky. I lost 1 parent, 1 good friend and -his entire family- of 3, several close associates that I counted among my friends , and my wife. Random events do not have random distributions, and the early strains of the virus were much, much more aggressive. I still suffer from neurological effects of my COVID infection from the very beginning of the spread of the virus. People with cancer in remission for years of even decades experienced a huge spike in breakthrough tumors. Vascular damage provoked a massive uptick in ischemic events such as stroke or heart attack. The effects of COVID reach far, far beyond “dying of COVID”.
