These stories always being to mind the people who sell their house in two hours. Yes, it can happen but usually doesn’t.

Most of us have people that we love, and then people that we really like. At our age that group is easily one hundred people if you count friends in your neighborhood, golf friends, and people married to people we see a lot.
Out of those hundred people, three will die from Covid. Three real people.
We have lived in our small Village of 52 houses for eleven years. It is separate from the others with swamp land and a busy road. Most of the homes have two people living in them and some have one. We gathered frequently at the mail drop to socialize or at Laurel Manor before the pandemic. We stop and chat when we see people out walking. In eleven years you really get to know your neighbors pretty well especially when everyone is retired. Our Village numbers less than a hundred people. One of our neighbors died of Covid.
Overall three percent of Americans have died from Covid, that is including all ages, but when you group older people alone, the number doubles.
It is a horrible death that can be prevented. Please get both shots. People love you.
