That seems statistically unlikely.

[Intar]

Remember that the death stats have rolled all fatalities into C19 such as:

• Car accidents
• Heart attacks
• Cancer
• Falling off ladders (see UK)
• Flu (which supposedly disappeared last year)
• etc...

  Given the above conflation, the statistic works out.

[a fool in paradise]

4 people in one family can all know the same person who died from Covid but that death counts 4 TIMES on the loved one list.

[xkaydet65]

Depends on how loved one is defined. I know 6 people who died from or with CCP. Three were co workers, one of whom was a good friend. Two were former students of mine. One was a parish deacon. None could be called a loved one by me, but certainly would be by their families. That’s why stories like this are meaningless.

1 of every five American...

330,000,000 million Americans divided by 5 = 66,000,000 million lost family members. Is that math correct?

[Quality_Not_Quantity]

That seems statistically unlikely.

Statistically insignificant is more like it.

Let’s say that there are 100 people in a room who all know each other. One of them dies from COVID-19. The percentage who know someone who died from COVID is 100%.

Figures don’t lie, but liars use figures.

“””That seems statistically unlikely.”””

You are so correct.

In order for 1 in 5 Americans to have lost a loved one to covid it would require that each of the 500,000 dead people to have had 600 loved ones.

[QuigleyDU]

Then every 5th person we know should have a dead, absolutely absurd and definitely a lie.

[minnesota_bound]

330,000,000 / by 5 = 66 million dead.
Gosh, I never noticed. Lies on top of lies.
