That's the thing, some people have one experience and other the opposite.

I kept hearing "everyone knows someone who was affected by Covid", but I for one have none in my family nor have I heard any Covid related losses from any of my colleagues, but obviously there are people who were affected.

On other hand I do know a person who died due to depression caused by the isolation of lock down.

Count yourself lucky. I lost 1 parent, 1 good friend and -his entire family- of 3, several close associates that I counted among my friends , and my wife.

Random events do not have random distributions, and the early strains of the virus were much, much more aggressive. I still suffer from neurological effects of my COVID infection from the very beginning of the spread of the virus.

People with cancer in remission for years of even decades experienced a huge spike in breakthrough tumors. Vascular damage provoked a massive uptick in ischemic events such as stroke or heart attack. The effects of COVID reach far, far beyond “dying of COVID”.
