Showing Original Post only (View all)QUESTION - How many people do you know who have died from Covid-19? [View all]
Earlier in the year, I read a prediction that by the end of this pandemic, every American would personally know someone who had died from this virus.
The first for me was an uncle who died from it in April. Since then, three more people in my life have succumbed to it.
So excluding people like a friend of a neighbor, or your co-worker's cousin's whom you've never met, how many people do you personally know in your life have been taken by Covid-19?
