I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it seems to me that Wut is trolling. Either that or he's the unluckiest person in the world.
I don't live in BFE. I have friends and family in WA, CA, NY, NJ, and MI metro areas. His reality can't be that different from everybody else's, unless he's actually posting from a nursing home.

The fact that you all can be like this isn't happening is remarkable. Your bubbles must be very small and very strong.

I'm dead serious. My Dad's best friend got it from family that was visiting. 69. Male. No health issues. Didn't drink. Didn't smoke. The other was the father of a friend of mine. Early 60s. I don't know his health history. But he was in the hospital for over 3 weeks. Looked like he was pulling out of it then crashed.

CA healthcare workers are getting slammed right now. Especially SoCal.

I suggest you all turn up your empathy dials and act accordingly.

There are more than 300,000,000 people in this country. Why don't ya run some numbers and let me know how many people would have to die for the majority of people to know someone who died of Covid - much less two, which was your initial claim.
I'll wait right here.

That's what it will take for everyone in America to know someone who has been killed by COVID-19, statistically speaking.
Current US Population: 329,000,000
The average American knows: 600 people*
329MM / 600 = ~550,000
As of 6/23/20, the US has 122,000 confirmed COVID deaths. In just over 3 months, we're at 22% of 550k. If the last 3 months are averaged over the next 12, statistically speaking, then by May 1, 2021 everyone in America will know someone who has been killed by COVID-19.
Does that do it for ya, princess?

Interesting chart that shows national deaths in excess of what was expected a given week. The excess can largely been explained by COVID. It *appears* that, thankfully, excess deaths are in decline from their peak(reporting lag causes most recent weeks to be artificially low).
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm
On average, 50k-ish people die in the USA from all causes every week.
On average, 73k-ish people are born in the USA every week.
