Im very proud of the fact I wasnt a part of any of it

Seems I miss all the fun

I have personally known 10 people who have died from COVID, including my dad and my uncle. I ask around and other people tell me they don’t know anybody. I’m astounded by this.  I can’t understand whether I just know a whole lot more people and have a larger family or what?  

So I’d like to ask everybody to respond:  How many people do you personally know who have died from COVID?  

Yeah, I don't know anyone who passed from Covid. I do know my former neighbor was close. He still has lung problems, and it's been 8 months. He did have 3 underlying issues, and he's 75.

I have a friend in France who was in ICU for about a week with it.  My kid in Texas had it pretty bad very early but didn't go to the hospital.

Nobody in our building had it, that is known.  Everyone seems to be vaccinated.  We're back on masks again in the elevator, but folks are a bit casual about it now.

The building is changing we're told, a decade plus ago nearly everyone was gay, I'm told, and then families started moving in, and straight folks, and the gays were somewhat ruffled about it, but now nobody cares.  We don't have many families still, few young kids, which is fine with me.  I see one Asian family with two small kids but they seem quiet, I wave at the kids and they stare back at me.  The parents smile and tell them to wave.

On occasion, someone will invite guests over to use the pool and one group has little ones.  Everything here is still "open", folks are tired of the restrictions, but will wear a mask when asked.

a very good friend of mine died from COVID, 55 years old.

found out after going on a ventilator that he had leukemia

a few other folks I know have died recently and I wonder if it was COVID, but that info wasn't given.  I didn't ask. 

I heard of somebody else who found out they were terminally ill while in the hospital for COVID.  This person, who I didn't personally know, had some kind of stage 4 cancer they did not know about.  They went into the hospital for COVID and the cancer was discovered there.  So obviously their immune system was weakened, but they died from COVID.  So how do you count that one?  

They would have probably died within 6 or so months with the cancer, so I'm going with death by COVID.  There is also the chance they would have recovered from the cancer.  Not likely but sometimes people do beat the odds.

In most cases, that is brain cancer. You don't know it until it's too late.
