Immediate Family Lost to Covid

Well, I have previously mentioned the situation in my family, but since this thread is not in good faith, I’m going to go make some ice cream.

The deaths were not evenly distributed. They hit poor and minority people harder. And yeppej is whiter than a KKK sheet so ... (yes of course they also hit old age homes etc.)

I’d be lying if I claimed my heart aches whenever another suffers anywhere. There’s so much suffering in this weary world that would quickly rise to the level of obsession (or hypocritical preening). But that doesn’t mean that just because I’m not personally related to a Covid victim that I’m justified in thinking the death toll is being exaggerated. That smacks to me of the old “I don’t know anybody who voted for Nixon” way of thinking.

I think way too many people are using aspects of this disease as symbols of their allegiance to some political or cultural tribe.

Chocolate, vanilla, or ‘other’?

Did you have another in addition to post # 12, the one at 8:26 this morning?
It is a good post.

No posts have been eliminated, maybe you left it in another thread.

Haven’t lost any family members, but I’ve lost a few friends due to it. Some of them aren’t dead, we’re just no longer friends.

Dh almost lost a brother (again not to dying.)

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace ends her show every day with a segment called Lives Well Lived, vignettes of some of the people whom COVID-19 took from us. It's sobering and heart-breaking. "Disposable" oldsters aren't the only ones dying of this.
