I found out about one this week. Childhood friend. Active, healthy guy. 58. Unvaxed.
If you don’t want to get the vax, then don’t. No skin off my nose. But Covid is the real deal and is killing healthy people. Its not the Spanish Flu by any means, and your odds of demise are still very low, but its still a roll of the dice.
Rarely is it killing “ healthy people”. It’s killing fatties and those with comorbidities.
sorry for your loss. But this is some thing God has allowed and so many are so focused on things other than God - their own life, other people, their jobs, their school, their hobbies etc etc etc when the bible tells us not to love our life/self or people or things it’s all idolatry. Those who love their life will lose it, those who lose their life for Him will gain it.
I see that in this situation those who are perishing from vax or virus (some of my relatives included) are an example for the rest of us to get right with God and not try to just save our self but to do some thing really God inspired (bigger than we ever thought we could, more improtant then just about ourself) in whatever time we have. just my thought on things.
“Its not the Spanish Flu by any means, and your odds of demise are still very low, but its still a roll of the dice.”
Total approximate USA deaths during the 1918 Pandemic was about 700,000 (about what Covid 19 is now). We are about 3.5 times the population now (325 million vs. 102 million).
About 0.7% of Americans died back then. Right now we are at about 0.2%. Hopefully we aren’t in for a terrible rise in Covid this winter, but.... :(
