Risking Yves’ first-comment wrath to quote:
“This aide and her significant other have already had 3 people in their families under 40 die of Covid.”
In the country I live in, there are regular news headlines about how “X members of the same family died within Y weeks of each other.” My intuition is that there have been just too many anecdotes of this kind to classify as mere statistical noise, and part of me looks forward to science finally unconvering whatever transcendent nonlinear genetic mechanism that is lurking beneath the COVID-19 demon, and causing all these interrelated fatalities. Or maybe it’s just viral load. Who knows? Nature, it seems, is always one joke ahead.
