I know two people whose elderly parents, nursing home residents with underlying conditions, died of it. I also know one person whose father did not die of it, but because he was in a nursing home the state forced the medical examiner to change the cause of death to covid. The statistics are inflated.

All these people accepted their parents' deaths after a long life as somewhat natural, because they were so infirm they were likely to die of some opportunistic infection. There are other people though (stereotypical boomers?) who feel entitled to live forever no matter their state of health and the lifestyle that may have contributed to it.

I know 2 people in their 60's who recovered. They were on oxygen but not ventilators.
