So this past week I went on a small camping trip with a group of retired people from my city. This is a group that has been around for about 30 years and I was just introduced to them.
Most of these people are quite a bit older than my wife and me (I am 54 and my wife is 49). The person who introduced us to the group is 74 and his wife is a few years younger. There were several people in their 80's, and none under 65 other than my wife and me.
So old folks.
Someone mentioned to me "Just to let you know, so-and-so isn't vaccinated because he's against the vaccines." I avoided the subject up until that point, but once it was mentioned, I told them that I am not vaccinated either. I asked people if they knew many people who got seriously ill with Covid-19. Being such an old group, I expected that they would all know a number of people who got very sick and some who would have actually died. They knew very few actual people who got very sick. Nobody knew anyone who actually died from Covid-19.
Personally, I don't know anyone who died from or with Covid-19. I heard about a person in the building where my in-laws live who died with Covid-19; apparently he was a sick man and was expected to die within the next few years (he was fighting cancer I think). I know a few people who were sick with Covid-19, but not sick enough to be hospitalized.
Do any of you people here know people who died "with Covid"?
