You should all be dead by now right?

Absolutely.  Yet at this point, not a single person I'm aware of in the industry has suffered anything any more serious than a bad hangover.

One of my fishing buddies and his wife got it and they are 14 days in and still sick.  Her more than him, but he initially went the hospital it was so bad.  Like a real bad cold.  They even got the plasma antibody treatment last week.  Doctor told them if they hadn't gotten the AB's it would've been way worse.

I know that some people have gotten sick, and some have even died.  My point is that none of the hype, masks, and other BS is helping.   

The way that everyone is acting you'd expect the country to be overrun with used cars and houses for sale CHEAP.    And large estate sale auctions in every town, every day!   Hearses in the shops with 200k miles on them and bad transmissions.   

The best job to have right now should be a backhoe mechanic, or a headstone engraver.   Ghost hunter 👍

But none of this is the case.

I do not disagree with you.

I would love to be a backhoe runner right now.  I could bury alot of stuff.

Most of the homes I have inspected this week.  They don't need repair, they need wrecking balls.  But $600 in their pockets make them feel like they need to spend it.

I know of two deaths where I have a connection: one a cousin who got it at deer camp. They pretty much all got it, some more sick than others.

The other was a colleague's mother. Didn't actually know her, though she lived in the local community

It's definitely had its effect. Our life expectancy in the country has been reduced by one year courtesy of 500,000 deaths. (that' a little under 20% more than what we had in 2019). In the ministry, some of my fellow pastors occasionally use the term "Covid funeral."   They are also doing more funerals than is usual.
