There's a 99.6% difference between "patient" and "victim". Practically everyone I know has, at a minimum, had a cold in the last two years, and most of them think it was probably Covid. My case actually tested positive for Covid.
The point is, we all know all these people who've had Covid, but almost nobody knows anyone who died.
That's pretty weird for a disease that caused us to crash our economy and quit educating our kids.

One of my neighbors died.
My cousin's neighbor died.
The point is not that no one knows anyone who died. The point is that being a VICTIM does not equate, exclusively, with death. If you're hit by a hit-and-run driver and live to tell about it, you're still a victim of a hit-and-run driver. If you're shot by a bank robber and live to tell about it, you're still a victim of a shooting. If your house is burglarized, and you aren't even injured at all, you're still a victim of a burglary.
If you're raped, you're a victim of rape whether you live or die as a result.
My sister is a VICTIM of Covid. She lived to tell about it, but she was very sick for a couple of months. Because of a blood clotting disorder, she CANNOT be vaccinated. The risk of a blood clot forming and killing her (which is a rare side effect of the vaccines) is higher for her than for people who don't have this disorder. She has to get tested regularly to make sure she still has antibodies. If she's no longer immune as a result of getting COVID, she will have to isolate away from everyone else. The next time she gets sick from it, it could kill her.
So just keep your semantic horsepucky to yourself. Living people are victimized by things every day. And every day my sister was sick, was a day our entire family was victimized by Covid and the insensitive jerks who spread the disease because "muh freedumz" were more important than world health.
