When you do the math, this headline is a fantastic red pill.

80% of people haven't lost a loved one to covid-19. That means 275 MILLION Americans haven't lost anyone they love.

Think about that. No grandparents. No parents. No cousins. No friends. No business partners. No drinking buddies. No neighbors. Nothing

Think about how many people you are close with. Now multiply that by the entire population.

EIGHTY FUCKING PERCENT of those people don't even know anyone close that has died.

But I bet every single one of them knows someone who lost their job, or their house, or their life savings, or whose kids can't even go to school, or who had something they were looking forward to shut down, etc.
